Built in 1979, this 45-year-old property shows signs of age despite being a functional rental. While the flooring has been updated to modern laminate and there are some newer stainless steel appliances, the kitchen features dated oak cabinetry and tile work likely exceeding 20 years in age. The exterior, including the unpaved driveway and older siding, indicates a need for minor repairs and cosmetic modernization.
