Built in 1988, the home features excellent updates to major systems, including a new roof, new central HVAC, and recent plumbing upgrades. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, remains dated with original oak cabinetry and older appliances, making it functional and move-in ready but in need of cosmetic modernization.
