Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1971, is described as 'mostly original' and the images confirm this for key areas. While the unit is clean and features well-maintained wood flooring, the kitchen, despite having stainless steel appliances, has dated white flat-panel cabinetry, laminate countertops, and tile flooring that appear to be 15-30 years old. The bathroom is functional and clean with some updated fixtures (like the toilet), but the vanity and tub/shower style are also dated. The unit is move-in ready but requires significant cosmetic updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
