Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1950, this home has received some important updates like energy-efficient dual-pane windows and a completely remodeled hallway bathroom. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with older white appliances, inconsistent countertops, dated cabinet styles (some painted blue), and worn flooring, requiring a full renovation to meet modern standards. Other elements like ceiling fans also appear dated. While functional and maintained, the property shows its age and needs substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen, to improve its overall condition.
