TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1951 but features significant renovations that appear to be within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen is updated with shaker-style cabinetry and stone countertops, and the bathrooms show modern vanities and glass-enclosed showers. The home is well-maintained and move-in ready with hardwood floors and a clean solarium, though the presence of a window AC unit and white appliances suggests systems and some finishes are not brand new.
