Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1958, this property is explicitly described as 'in need of some TLC,' indicating that while livable, it requires minor updates or repairs. The living room appears to have been updated with modern recessed lighting and dark hardwood floors, suggesting some renovations have occurred. However, the exterior and courtyard areas show signs of age, and the absence of kitchen and bathroom images strongly implies these key areas are likely outdated and contribute to the 'TLC' requirement. Major systems are presumed functional but may show signs of age, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
