Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old. While some updates like recessed lighting and kitchen countertops are present, the overall condition is dated. The kitchen features a mix of newer countertops and dark cabinets with older white appliances and dated white tile flooring. The bathrooms show significant signs of age with outdated fixtures, lighting, and storage. The property is functional and appears well-maintained, but requires minor updates and renovations to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'blank slate' description provided in the listing.
