Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1976, making it 48 years old. The listing description explicitly states it's a 'blank pallet ready for your vision and touch,' indicating a need for updates. Images confirm this, showing a very dated kitchen with original-style wood cabinets, white appliances, and a large fluorescent ceiling light. Bathrooms feature similar dated wood vanities, older fixtures, and basic tile/vinyl flooring. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout. While the property appears clean and maintained, all major components and finishes are significantly outdated and require substantial cosmetic renovation to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
