TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this property is well-maintained but dated. While it features modern comforts like central AC and refinished hardwood floors, the kitchen and bathrooms show their age with older tile countertops, fluorescent lighting, and cabinetry likely renovated over 20 years ago. It is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to meet current market standards.
