Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this property is 36 years old. While it benefits from fresh paint and new carpet, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated in style and features. The kitchen has a butcher block island with a built-in range, tile countertops, older black appliances, and fluorescent panel lighting. The bathrooms feature tile countertops, wood vanities, and a niche walk-in bathtub, all showing signs of age. The absence of a central cooling system is also a notable functional deficiency. The home is maintained and functional but requires minor to moderate updates to modernize its aesthetics and systems.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 2704.
