Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1950, is well-maintained with beautiful hardwood floors, central heat and air, and double-pane windows, indicating some significant updates. However, the kitchen features a mix of older and newer appliances, dated wood cabinetry, and vinyl flooring. Both bathrooms are notably outdated with vintage tile work and fixtures (e.g., pink/peach and grey tiled walls, older vanities, and a sliding shower door), suggesting they have not been extensively renovated in several decades. While functional, these key areas require cosmetic updates to meet current standards and tastes, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with functional major components that show signs of being outdated.

Dated Interior Elements (Implied): The description highlights functional spaces but does not specify recent renovations to the kitchen or bathrooms, suggesting these areas might benefit from cosmetic updates to align with contemporary tastes.
Limited Backyard Details: While French doors lead to a backyard, the description lacks specific details regarding its size, landscaping, or privacy, which could be a consideration for buyers prioritizing outdoor living space.
