Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1992, the property is 32 years old and features original, dated kitchen cabinetry and tile countertops.

Priced specifically to reflect the need for cosmetic updates, this home offers significant potential for investors or owner-occupants to build instant equity through minor renovations.
The property features a newer central AC system, providing modern climate control and reducing the immediate need for capital expenditures on major home systems.
The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 1577, living area = 1184.
