Built in 1908, this property is functional but significantly outdated, fitting the 'fair' criteria of an aged home maintained through regular upkeep but showing signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dated green laminate countertops and older appliances, while the hardwood flooring throughout shows visible wear and scuffing.

Built in 1908, the home's age may necessitate significant updates to structural systems, plumbing, or electrical to meet modern standards and efficiency.
