Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1970, this property is described as 'lovingly maintained' and 'move-in ready,' indicating good functional condition. However, the images reveal significantly dated features in key areas. The kitchen has white appliances, older laminate countertops, and very dated lighting (including a red-painted tray ceiling and track lighting). The bathroom features an older wood-tone vanity, dated light fixtures, and a dated shower enclosure. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms, along with mirrored walls, further contribute to an aesthetic that is 20-30+ years old. While clean and functional, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current styles and preferences, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but showing signs of being outdated.
