Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1978, this property has received recent cosmetic updates such as fresh interior paint, new carpeting, and recessed lighting, along with a newer HVAC system. However, the kitchen features significantly outdated tile countertops, tile backsplash, and older white appliances (excluding the newer stainless steel refrigerator). Some flooring, like the hexagonal tile in the dining/family room and kitchen, also appears dated. While the home is well-maintained and functional, the kitchen and certain aesthetic elements require substantial updates to meet current market expectations, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with signs of being outdated and needing minor to moderate updates.
