Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1975, appears to be well-maintained and functional, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features white, likely older, appliances, laminate wood-look countertops, white flat-panel cabinets, and a dated patterned backsplash. The bathroom has a beige laminate countertop and blue patterned floor tiles in the shower/tub area, indicating an older renovation. While clean and livable, these areas would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations and modern styles. The overall condition aligns with a property that is aged but maintained, with functional but outdated major components, fitting the 'Fair' category.

Potential Lack of Modern Amenities: The property details do not explicitly mention central air conditioning or in-unit laundry, which could be a drawback for some buyers expecting modern conveniences.
