Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1959, making it 65 years old. While the description states it is 'beautifully maintained' and has a 'functional layout,' the property analysis also highlights the 'Age of Property' and implies 'older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future updates or maintenance.' Crucially, there are no interior images provided to assess the condition, style, or features of the kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, flooring, or light fixtures. Without evidence of recent, extensive renovations (within the last 15 years), a home of this age, even if well-kept, is likely to feature outdated styles and potentially older systems. The exterior appears maintained but not modern. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, indicating an aged but maintained home where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and minor updates or repairs are likely needed.

Cons
Significant Price Adjustment: The list price increased substantially from $1.1M to $1.4M, a 27% jump, which may signal an aggressive pricing strategy or potential overvaluation.
