Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1972, is over 50 years old. While the kitchen has been updated with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances (though the refrigerator is black), and at least one bathroom shower features modern tiling and fixtures, the overall condition suggests a mix of updates and older elements. The living room's wood floors show wear, and the fireplace has a dated style. The MLS description itself notes that core systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or older, indicating potential future maintenance needs. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it has not undergone a full, extensive renovation to bring all components up to modern standards, aligning with the 'aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates' criteria for a 'Fair' score.
