Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1920, this charming bungalow appears well-maintained on the exterior. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features granite countertops but is paired with older white appliances, linoleum/vinyl flooring, and fluorescent lighting. Both bathrooms have older vanities, fixtures, and tile work, suggesting renovations from 20-30+ years ago. The living areas and bedrooms are carpeted, and light fixtures throughout are basic and older. While functional and clean, the property requires minor updates to modernize its aesthetic and features, aligning with a 'fair' condition score.
