Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Built in 1963, this duplex shows a mix of renovation levels. The upper unit features a recently updated kitchen with modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an updated bathroom with contemporary finishes and LVP flooring, placing it in good condition. However, the lower unit, while functional, has an older contemporary kitchen style (dark cabinets, dark granite) likely 10-15 years old, and at least one bathroom with a dated green countertop. The dark tile flooring throughout the lower unit also appears older. While maintained, the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation across both units, and some components show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' criteria.
