Condition: The property, built in 1974, is move-in ready and presents a well-maintained appearance with thoughtful updates. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, but the tile countertops and backsplash appear dated. One bathroom has been extensively updated with a modern vanity and fixtures, while another shows older, but well-maintained, elements. Hardwood flooring in living areas and clean carpets in bedrooms, along with fresh paint, contribute to a good overall condition, suggesting significant renovations within the last 5-15 years, despite some components not being fully modernized.
