Condition: Built in 1942, this property is well-maintained but shows signs of aging and dated renovations. While the kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, the cabinet style is traditional, and the refrigerator is a standard model. The primary bathroom has a modern freestanding tub, but the glass block shower is a significantly dated feature. Overall, the home is functional and move-in ready, but major components like the primary bathroom shower and kitchen aesthetics would likely require updates for a modern buyer, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with functional yet outdated components.
