Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1969, making it over 50 years old. While it appears to be well-maintained and livable, the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, reflects renovations that are now 15-25 years old. The kitchen features wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, but the overall style, including the decorative dishwasher panel, is dated. The bathroom has an older-style built-in tub with tiled steps and a dated shower enclosure. Flooring is a mix of wood, tile, and carpet, some of which appears older. The exterior also shows signs of deferred maintenance, such as a cracked driveway. The home is functional but requires minor updates to modernize its aesthetics and potentially major systems due to its age, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Property Age: Built in 1969, the home is over 50 years old, which may imply a need for updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or cosmetic renovations to align with modern buyer preferences.
