Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1990, is well-maintained and functional, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated in terms of style and features. The kitchen includes a dated fluorescent light panel, solid surface countertops, and an electric coil-top range. Bathrooms feature traditional fixtures and tile work that appear to be from an older renovation or original to the build. While some areas like the living room have updated hardwood flooring, the key areas of kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being aged and require minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
