Built in 1975 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1975, this property is well-maintained but shows its age, requiring significant cosmetic updates to meet current market expectations. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances but has dated light wood cabinets and backsplash. The primary bathroom vanity and tile appear outdated. While the hardwood floors are in good condition, the living room still has carpet and a traditional chandelier. The listing itself notes the home is 'waiting for your personal touch,' indicating a need for modernization rather than just minor repairs.
