Built in 1964, the property is well-maintained but dated. While it features newer LVT flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen cabinetry and bathroom fixtures appear to be over 20 years old. The unit is functional and move-in ready, but the kitchen and bath require modernization to meet current standards.
