The property, built in 1980, is well-maintained and clean, but the interior shows signs of being outdated. While the kitchen features replaced cabinetry and granite countertops, the white appliances and fluorescent lighting appear to be from an older renovation (likely 15-25 years ago). Bathrooms also have updated vanities and granite, but the overall style and fixtures are not current. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout. Major systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are likely original or older, as suggested by the property's age being listed as a weakness. It is move-in ready but would benefit from minor updates to modernize the aesthetic and potentially key systems.
