Built in 1969 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, the property shows signs of regular upkeep and some recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and one updated bathroom. However, the kitchen features very dated tiled countertops and older cabinets, and the second bathroom has an outdated gold-framed shower. Flooring is a mix of worn dark hardwood, dated brown carpet, and newer laminate. While functional, the property requires significant updates to the kitchen and at least one bathroom to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
