Condition: Built in 1978, this property shows signs of regular upkeep and some updates, such as stainless steel kitchen appliances, granite countertops, and hardwood flooring in some areas. However, the kitchen cabinets and tile flooring appear dated, and the listing explicitly notes the absence of central air conditioning, which is a significant functional drawback. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
