Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1952, the property features a renovated kitchen and updated bathrooms with modern vanities and fixtures (likely within the 5-15 year range). The addition of dual-pane windows and skylights indicates consistent maintenance. The interior is functional and move-in ready, though the 'as-is' condition and exterior patio wear suggest minor cosmetic updates may be desired.
