TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although originally built in 1941, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features significant system upgrades including a 400-amp electrical panel and new epoxy garage flooring. While the kitchen and bathrooms reflect renovations likely 15-20 years old (granite counters and oak cabinetry), the main living areas have been refreshed with modern flooring and paint, balancing vintage charm with functional utility.
