Condition: Built in 1978, this property retains its 'period charm' and explicitly presents an 'opportunity for modernization,' as noted in the description. While structurally sound and well-maintained externally, the interior, particularly the kitchen, features dated elements such as light wood cabinets, tile countertops, and a mix of older appliances. The overall aesthetic requires significant updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require more than minor updates for full modernization.
