TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1978, this property is over 45 years old and retains many dated features. While the home is well-maintained and staged, the kitchen features older tile countertops and cabinetry, and the presence of wall heaters suggests older mechanical systems. It fits the 'Fair' criteria as it is functional but requires cosmetic updates and modernization of systems to meet current standards.
