This property has been on the market for 36 days.
Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, the property has received some updates, including freshly painted kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances. However, the kitchen and main house bathrooms feature tile counters and backsplashes that, while clean and functional, are stylistically dated. The detached studio unit also appears quite basic. While move-in ready, these areas show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to align with current trends. The absence of a cooling system is also a notable factor.
