Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1971, is well-maintained and has received significant updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets, black granite countertops, and recessed lighting, but the white appliances and tumbled stone backsplash appear dated. Bathrooms have matching updated vanities and countertops. Flooring is a mix of hardwood and tile, both in good condition. While functional and clean, some elements like the appliances, backsplash, and mirrored closet doors show signs of being outdated, suggesting renovations were not recent enough (within 5-15 years) or comprehensive enough to meet 'Good' criteria for a property of this age. It fits the 'Fair' category as an aged but maintained home with functional major components that show signs of being outdated, requiring minor updates to fully modernize.
