While the kitchen was remodeled within the last decade with stone countertops and stainless appliances, and the HVAC and major appliances are relatively new (3-5 years), the home is 44 years old and currently requires minor repairs/updates. Specifically, the bedrooms are missing finished flooring (exposed subfloor visible in photos), and the bathrooms show only partial updates, placing it in the Fair category.
