Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained but largely reflects its 1977 original construction. While clean and functional, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and older white appliances, and the bathrooms retain older vanities and fixtures. The presence of older carpeting and wood trim throughout indicates a lack of recent major renovations, placing it firmly in the fair category as a home that is livable but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
