Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960 and meticulously maintained by original owners, the property is move-in ready but significantly dated. While systems like the HVAC, water heater, and windows have been updated, the kitchen cabinetry, countertops, and interior wood paneling appear to be over 30 years old, requiring modernization to meet current market standards.
