The property, built in 1959, has received partial updates including newer engineered wood flooring and modern kitchen cabinets and countertops. However, the kitchen is explicitly noted to 'still need some work' (visible missing panel under cooktop) and features a dated ceiling grid. The bathrooms, especially the pool house bathroom with its jalousie window and simple fixtures, are outdated. While functional and maintained, the home requires minor updates and completion in key areas to meet current quality standards, preventing it from being considered 'Good' (which implies no immediate renovation required).
