More Insights
Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1974, is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances mixed with some stainless steel, an electric coil-top range, and dated cabinet/countertop styles. Bathrooms have outdated vanities, Hollywood strip lighting, and carpet flooring, which is generally undesirable. While functional, the home requires minor to moderate updates to modernize its aesthetic and features.
