Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1955, this home has received several updates, including newer dual-pane windows, recent custom closets, and landscaping. The original hardwood floors are well-maintained. However, while the kitchen and bathrooms are functional and clean, their styles (cabinetry, light fixtures, and flooring in the kitchen, and vanity in the visible bathroom) appear to be from 15-25 years ago, showing signs of being outdated rather than recently renovated to modern standards. The property is move-in ready but would benefit from significant cosmetic updates to key areas.
