TeardownExcellent

Built in 1976, the home shows partial updates including newer LVP flooring and recessed lighting. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated, featuring original oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and older fixtures that exceed the 20-year threshold. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the property requires aesthetic and functional modernization in key areas.
