Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1974, this condo is 50 years old. While it features updated laminate flooring in the main living areas and some newer stainless steel kitchen appliances (range, microwave, refrigerator), the kitchen cabinets, countertops, and lighting are notably dated. The bathroom vanity and light fixture also show signs of being outdated. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but the overall style of the kitchen and bathroom indicates that these areas have not undergone a recent, extensive renovation, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with functional components showing signs of being outdated.
