Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1944, features a recently and tastefully updated kitchen with modern cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. However, other areas such as the bathroom, flooring (terracotta-style tiles in living areas, ceramic in bedroom), and the wall-mounted heating system show signs of age and are not as extensively updated. While well-maintained and charming, the overall condition reflects an older home with partial renovations, requiring minor updates in several areas to meet contemporary standards beyond the kitchen.
