Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1981, making it over 40 years old. While described as 'well maintained' and featuring a 'newer AC unit,' the kitchen and bathrooms are visibly outdated with older cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, and white appliances. The light fixtures and flooring also reflect an older style. The listing's mention of 'potential for updating and personal touches' and 'in need of a little TLC' further supports that while functional, the home requires minor updates to modernize and shows signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
