Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, this property is aged but appears well-maintained. The living areas feature laminate flooring and neutral paint, which are in decent condition. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring original or very old cabinets, laminate countertops, dated tile backsplashes/surrounds, and older white appliances. While functional, these areas require substantial renovation to meet modern aesthetic and quality standards. The property is not in disrepair but shows its age through these key components, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of requiring updates and showing signs of being outdated.
