The property, built in 1975, is described as a comfortable and functional residence but is noted as a 'dated original structure' in the analysis. While the land has received excellent infrastructure upgrades—including a new engineered septic system, updated electrical panels, and a prepared building pad—the existing 1,184-square-foot home maintains its original 1970s character. It appears well-maintained through regular upkeep but requires cosmetic and functional modernization in the kitchen and bathrooms to meet contemporary standards.
