Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1970, this property is well-maintained with some notable updates like double-pane windows, recessed lighting, and neutral paint in the living areas and one bedroom. However, the kitchen features solid cherry wood cabinets that, while good quality, are a traditional and somewhat dated style, paired with dark green/teal countertops and older black appliances (cooktop, oven, dishwasher). The stainless steel refrigerator is a newer addition. No bathroom images were provided, but based on the kitchen, it's likely they would also require updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The property is functional and clean, but the dated kitchen prevents it from being classified as 'Good' and indicates it would require minor updates to modernize key areas.
