Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1949, making it over 70 years old. While the home appears well-maintained with some updates like recessed lighting in the living room and solar panels, the kitchen and bathroom are significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances, laminate countertops, and dated cabinets. The bathroom also shows older fixtures and tiling. Flooring is a mix of older tile, distressed wood, and newer laminate. The detached unit lacks a full kitchen. These elements suggest renovations likely occurred 15-30 years ago, fitting the 'fair' category where the home is aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates.
