Condition Rating
Fair
This property, built in 1970, is in fair condition. While it appears well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features a very dated electric range, fluorescent panel lighting, and granite countertops with an older pattern. The bathrooms also have dated vanities and light fixtures. Other areas exhibit popcorn ceilings and older laminate flooring. The property is functional and livable but requires substantial cosmetic updates to modernize its style and features, aligning with the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but outdated.
