Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1954, this property retains much of its original character, as indicated by the description 'retains its original charm' and 'ready for a modern touch.' While the home is described as 'well maintained' with 'solid bones,' the images reveal outdated features. The kitchen features dark, busy granite countertops, dark cabinets, older white appliances (refrigerator), and a dated ceiling fan and breakfast nook. The flooring throughout much of the house is parquet, a style common for its era but not modern. Light fixtures are generally basic and older ceiling fans. No bathroom images were provided, but based on the rest of the home, they are likely also outdated. The property is functional and appears to be in good structural condition, but requires significant cosmetic and functional updates to meet current buyer expectations and modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
