Built in 1970, this property presents a significant mix of updated and original features. While the description highlights a 'renovated kitchen' and a 'beautifully renovated bath,' which are confirmed by images showing modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a contemporary glass shower, other areas remain distinctly dated. Specifically, a second kitchen (likely in the guest unit) features very old tile countertops, original white cabinets, and a fluorescent light fixture, clearly requiring a full renovation. Many rooms also retain extensive wood paneling and older carpeting, consistent with its 1970s build. The property is well-maintained, and the updated areas are appealing, but the presence of these prominent outdated elements means it requires more than just 'minimal wear and tear' to be considered 'Good' and would necessitate 'minor updates or repairs' for a modern buyer.
