Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1942. While it has some updated features like mini-splits and Saltillo tile, the kitchen and bathroom appear dated. The description mentions original adobe construction and salvaged materials, suggesting it has been maintained but not fully renovated recently. The kitchen appliances and cabinets appear older, and the bathroom isn't shown, but given the age and style of the rest of the house, it's likely also outdated. Overall, it requires minor updates.
