Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1977, the property is well-maintained and functional but significantly outdated. The kitchen features older white appliances, electric cooktops, and tile countertops with wood trim characteristic of the late 70s/early 80s. Bathrooms and flooring show signs of age, and while the home is move-in ready, it lacks the modern luxury finishes and open-concept updates expected in this price bracket, making it a likely candidate for a full interior renovation.
