Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1949, is well-maintained with recent electrical upgrades, sewer lateral compliance, owned solar panels, and an EV charger, which are significant modern improvements. The hardwood floors are in good condition, and the paint is fresh. However, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances, along with fluorescent lighting. The bathrooms also show signs of age, particularly one with brown tile and an older vanity. While functional and clean, the kitchen and bathrooms require substantial cosmetic updates to align with current styles and standards, placing the overall condition in the 'Fair' category, as it's aged but maintained with functional major components that show signs of being outdated.
