Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1940. The main house kitchen has new flooring, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, but the style is somewhat dated. The bathrooms appear functional but not recently renovated. The ADU is newly built, which improves the overall condition. The presence of refinished hardwood floors and new light fixtures suggests some updating, but the age of the original structure keeps it from a higher rating.
