Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1937, presents a blend of updated and dated elements. While the ADU features a well-appointed, modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and white shaker cabinets, and both the main house and ADU bathrooms appear to have been custom-designed and updated, the main house kitchen is notably older with white appliances and wood cabinets, suggesting it has not been extensively renovated recently. The description highlights that the property was 'lovingly maintained by the current owner for the past 60 years,' implying regular upkeep rather than comprehensive modern renovations throughout. A significant weakness noted is the 'Age of Property & Potential System Updates,' indicating that original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) may require updates, and there is a 'Lack of Central Cooling System.' The wood flooring throughout is a positive, but the overall condition, particularly the dated main kitchen and potential for major system updates, places it in the 'fair' category, requiring minor updates or repairs to meet modern standards and comfort expectations.
