Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1971 and the listing mentions it needs updating. The bathroom photo shows a newer vanity but the overall style and fixtures are dated. The kitchen is not pictured, but given the age and description, it likely needs updates as well. The property appears to be maintained but is aged.
