Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this property is functional and maintained but shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and older white appliances. While the unit has consistent tile flooring and some updated light fixtures, the overall style, wall-mounted AC units, and original-style finishes indicate the property has not undergone a comprehensive renovation in the last 15-30 years, fitting the 'fair' criteria.
