Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this home has received some important updates, including updated plumbing and fresh interior/exterior paint in 2022. The living areas feature newer laminate flooring, and one bathroom appears to have a more recent vanity and tiled shower.

While functional and maintained, several key areas show signs of being outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer preferences.
