Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1960 with kitchen and bath updates that appear to be 15-20 years old based on cabinet style and granite choices. While the interior is functional and move-in ready, the property shows its age with dated carpeting and a patio cover in significant disrepair requiring immediate maintenance.
