Condition Rating
Fair
This property, built in 1965, is well-maintained on the exterior with good landscaping. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets and white ceramic tile countertops, which are a dated style, despite some newer stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher) and a white electric range/microwave. The flooring in the kitchen and dining area is also older tile. Bedrooms have clean but not new-looking carpet and mirrored closet doors, common in older renovations. While the home appears clean and functional, it requires minor updates, especially in the kitchen, to meet current aesthetic standards. No images of the bathrooms were provided for assessment. The overall condition aligns with a property that is aged but maintained through regular upkeep, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, consistent with a renovation 15-30 years ago rather than a recent one.
