Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, the property is exceptionally well-maintained but remains dated. While it features stainless steel appliances, the bathrooms show older gold-trimmed fixtures and vanities, and the living areas contain Saltillo-style tile and older wood-paneled built-ins. The overall aesthetic suggests the last major updates were likely 20+ years ago, placing it in the 'Fair' category as it is functional but needs cosmetic modernization.
