Condition: Built in 1949, this property shows signs of age with some dated elements throughout. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and dark cabinets, the overall style and granite-look countertops are not fully modern. Bathrooms are a mix; some have basic, older vanities and fixtures, while others show minor updates like newer shower tile. Flooring is inconsistent, with older tile and some laminate. The exterior and pool are in poor condition, requiring significant maintenance and repair. The interior appears functional but would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current standards. It fits the 'Fair' category as it's aged, maintained through regular upkeep, but requires minor to moderate updates and repairs, particularly for the exterior and pool.
