Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, this property is a classic mid-century home that has undergone partial updates but remains largely dated. While it features new marble-patterned tile flooring in the bedrooms and an updated bathroom vanity, the kitchen retains older tile countertops and cabinetry. The single-bathroom configuration and aged mechanical fixtures, such as the roof-mounted cooler and older ceiling fans, align with the 'fair' criteria of a maintained home that shows its age and requires further modernization.

Well-maintained with visible pride of ownership, this home provides a clean and functional foundation that allows buyers to move in immediately and personalize over time.
