Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1983, this property is 41 years old and the listing description explicitly states it is 'in need of updating and repairs.' The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated laminate countertops, older white appliances, and basic tile flooring. The bathroom is similarly dated with an old vanity, light fixture, and a gold-framed sliding shower door. While the property appears functional, it requires significant cosmetic renovations and updates throughout to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for an aged property needing updates.
