Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, this mountain cabin is well-maintained but retains significant vintage elements. The kitchen is outdated with original-style green cabinetry and older appliances, and the interior features 1960s-era wood paneling and wallpaper. While the bathroom has received a partial update and the flooring appears newer, the property has not undergone a full modern renovation and shows signs of its age, fitting the 'fair' criteria for a functional but dated home.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8973, living area = 676.
