Built in 1988, the property features extensive recent capital improvements including a newer HVAC system, 200-amp electrical panel, water heater, and new exterior siding and decks. While the home is move-in ready and exceptionally well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms remain somewhat dated with older tile countertops and cabinetry, preventing an 'excellent' rating.

The home features significant high-value upgrades including new Hardie plank siding, fully reconstructed decks, a 200-amp electrical panel, and a newer central AC system, minimizing immediate maintenance needs.
