Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1974, this home shows signs of regular maintenance but has not undergone a recent comprehensive renovation. The kitchen features dated tile countertops and a mix of older and newer appliances, while the bathroom is significantly outdated with beige tiles and older fixtures. The description also notes it's an 'opportunity to update and build equity,' aligning with a 'fair' condition where minor to moderate updates are required to modernize the property.
