Condition: Built in 1990, this property is 34 years old. While some areas like the living room (laminate flooring, neutral paint) and bedrooms (new carpet, neutral paint) appear to have received recent cosmetic updates, the kitchen and bathrooms are largely original or have very dated renovations. The kitchen features original-style oak cabinets, dated white laminate countertops, and older tile flooring. Appliances are a mix, with some newer stainless steel but the overall aesthetic is from the 90s. The visible bathroom also shows dated tile work. The home is functional and appears maintained, but the key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) require minor to moderate updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1990, the home is over 30 years old. While described as 'solid,' it likely requires updates to systems, finishes, or aesthetics to meet modern buyer expectations and prevent future maintenance issues.
