Built in 1995 (31 years old), the property exceeds the 20-year threshold for Fair condition. While the interior shows updated wood-look flooring and the unit is described as well-maintained and move-in ready, the age of the building and likely original systems/fixtures suggest it is dated and may require minor updates.
