Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1981, making it over 40 years old. While it benefits from several positive updates such as laminate flooring throughout, dual-pane windows, and modern stainless steel kitchen appliances (range, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator), the kitchen cabinets and countertops appear to be from an older renovation or are well-maintained originals, not a recent high-end update. The overall aesthetic is clean and functional, but some elements, like the kitchen's general style and the fireplace, show signs of being outdated. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it hasn't undergone a full, recent renovation to meet current 'good' or 'excellent' standards.
Pros & Cons
