Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1950, has received several recent and positive updates, including freshly painted interiors, smooth ceilings with recessed lighting, gleaming hardwood floors, modern heat pump split systems for HVAC, and a nicely updated bathroom with subway tile and a contemporary vanity. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and older white appliances, which would likely require an immediate renovation for most modern buyers. While well-maintained, the kitchen's condition and style prevent the property from achieving a 'Good' rating, placing it in the 'Fair' category where minor updates are required.
