Condition: Built in 1965, this home has been well-maintained and features some updates, including hardwood floors in the upper area, updated kitchen countertops, and updated bathrooms. However, the kitchen cabinets and some appliances appear dated, and one bathroom's tile style is quite specific and older. The living room features older wall paneling and decorative ceiling trim. The lower level has older flooring. While functional and move-in ready, many elements show signs of being outdated, and the property's core systems are implied to be original or older, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of a home aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
