Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1977, this property is 47 years old. While it benefits from updated dual-pane windows and newer laminate flooring throughout, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated in style. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets and laminate countertops, with basic black appliances that contradict the 'modern appliances' claim in the description. The bathrooms also show dated fixtures, vanities, and tile. The home is functional and appears well-maintained, but the outdated key areas (kitchen and baths) indicate it requires substantial aesthetic updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
