However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, older white appliances, and a very specific, outdated cabinet style. The bathrooms also show signs of being outdated with older vanities, fixtures, and lighting. While clean and functional, these key areas, along with the wood paneling and carpeted floors, require significant cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations and modern styles. The property is aged but well-kept, fitting the 'Fair' category as it is functional but shows clear signs of being outdated and requires updates.
