Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, the property features renovations that appear dated, including tile countertops, older oak cabinetry in the bathroom, and white appliances. While the listing mentions upgrades and the units are functional, the aesthetic and fixtures suggest the renovations are likely 20+ years old, requiring modern updates to meet current market standards.
