Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1901 and while it has refinished hardwood floors and some updates like new vinyl tile in one bathroom and new carpeting in some bedrooms, the kitchen with its custom Dutch-themed tiled countertops and older appliances, and the bathrooms with tiled countertops and tub-shower combinations, suggest that the house is aged and requires more extensive updates to meet modern standards. The description mentions the house being on the market for the first time in 45 years, suggesting that the renovations are older than 15 years.
