More Insights
Built in 1978 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1978, this cabin exhibits a dated aesthetic throughout. The kitchen features original or very old dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older black and white appliances, indicating no recent renovation. Bathrooms also show older fixtures and finishes. Flooring consists of worn carpet and dated tile. While the property appears well-maintained and functional, major components like the kitchen, bathrooms, and heating system (wall-mounted units) are significantly outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current standards and buyer expectations. It is livable but clearly shows its age without substantial modern renovations.
