Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1959, is clean and well-maintained but shows significant signs of age in key areas. The kitchen features dated white appliances, older granite-look countertops, and basic cabinetry, along with an outdated fluorescent light fixture. The bathroom also presents with an older vanity, basic fixtures, and dated flooring. While functional and move-in ready, both the kitchen and bathroom would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards and styles. The general living areas appear to have fresh paint and well-kept flooring, but the core wet areas are aged, placing it in the 'Fair' category.
