TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, the home is nearly 50 years old and remains largely dated with popcorn ceilings, wall heaters, and older carpeting. While the newly installed roof is a significant system upgrade, the interior requires cosmetic modernization and updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current market standards.

- Recent Capital Improvement

- Versatile Living Space
