Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1972, this property is aged but appears to be maintained with fresh paint and clean carpets. However, the kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, white coil-top appliances, and dated white tile flooring. The bathrooms also show basic, outdated fixtures. While functional and move-in ready, the property requires significant aesthetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged, maintained, but outdated and requiring minor updates or repairs.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1972, the property is over 50 years old, which may indicate older systems, potential for deferred maintenance, or a need for aesthetic updates.
