Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1967, this property shows a mix of updates and outdated features. The kitchen has been significantly renovated with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and light countertops, which is a strong positive. However, the bathrooms, while clean and featuring skylights, have a dated vanity style. A major detractor is the cooling system, which relies on three wall-mounted AC units rather than central air, indicating an older, less efficient system. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the property's age and the presence of outdated major systems and aesthetics prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating, suggesting it requires minor updates to fully align with current standards.
