Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this home is well-maintained with fresh paint and good condition hardwood floors. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and painted cabinets, but the laminate countertops are dated. The bathroom has a very dated green tile and tub, despite a newer vanity and mirror. Heating is via an older wall-mounted unit. While move-in ready, the property requires significant updates, especially in the bathroom and kitchen, to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards.
