Built in 1999, the property is over 20 years old and largely retains its original aesthetic. While the home is well-maintained with fresh paint and a modern solar system, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry and white tile flooring consistent with the original construction, requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
