Condition: The property, built in 1987, is well-maintained with fresh paint and some updated flooring in bedrooms. However, the kitchen features original wood cabinets, dated tile countertops, and a mix of older appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit dated styles with tile countertops, wood vanities, and gold-framed shower enclosures. While functional and clean, these key areas show significant signs of being outdated and would require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
