TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property is well-maintained but largely dated. While the exterior deck is newly refinished and one bathroom has an updated vanity, the kitchen features older cabinetry and white appliances likely exceeding 20 years in age. The interior retains dated green carpeting and wood paneling, suggesting that while functional and move-in ready, the home requires cosmetic updates and likely system evaluations consistent with a 60-year-old structure.
