Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1973, making it over 50 years old. While the description mentions 'updated' bathrooms and one image confirms a refreshed bathroom with a modern vanity and tile, the overall condition, particularly the visible carpeted areas which appear dated and worn, and the lack of specific details or images for the kitchen, suggest that it has not undergone a full, extensive renovation within the last 15 years. The light fixtures in the living room also appear traditional. The home is maintained but shows signs of being outdated in several key areas, aligning with the 'Fair' category.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current list price of $1.624M is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $1.092M and most recent comparable sales, suggesting a potential overvaluation in the current market.
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old. While some areas are updated, the description lacks explicit details on comprehensive system upgrades (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof), which may imply future maintenance or replacement costs.
Vague Renovation Scope: The description mentions 'updated' bathrooms but provides limited specifics on the extent or recency of renovations in other critical areas like the kitchen or overall infrastructure, which could be a concern for buyers expecting a fully modernized home at this price point.
