Built in 1963 but well-maintained with clear evidence of renovations within the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features updated cabinetry and a stainless steel refrigerator, while the primary bathroom has been modernized with a new vanity, stone counters, and subway tile. Refinished original hardwoods and fresh paint throughout make it move-in ready, though some older elements like the half-bath flooring and white appliances remain.
