Condition: Built in 1990, the property is over 30 years old. While generally maintained, the kitchen features highly dated tile countertops, older cabinets, and a dated lighting fixture, requiring substantial renovation. The primary bathroom also shows outdated fixtures and finishes. Although one bathroom appears recently updated, the significant renovation needed for the kitchen and other key areas pushes the overall condition into the 'Poor' category, as these are more than minor updates.
