Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this property is 47 years old. While it boasts significant cosmetic updates such as rich plank flooring, remodeled kitchen cabinets with sleek Quartz countertops, and an updated primary bathroom shower, several elements indicate a partial rather than comprehensive renovation. The kitchen features older white appliances and what appears to be original or older floor tile, contrasting with the new plank flooring elsewhere. Similarly, some bathroom vanities and countertops appear dated. The listing itself notes the older building age as a weakness, raising concerns about the condition of core systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) which are not explicitly mentioned as updated. Therefore, while move-in ready and well-maintained, the mix of updated and outdated components, coupled with the age of the underlying structure and systems, aligns with a 'Fair' condition score.
