Built in 1976, this property is nearly 50 years old. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, the bathroom fixtures and exterior patio areas are dated (likely 20+ years since any major renovation). The natural gas furnace is a positive system highlight, but the overall aesthetic and age of finishes suggest a need for minor updates to meet modern standards.
The property features a rare combination of a spacious backyard, a private patio, and a separate gated side yard, offering significant outdoor utility for a home of this size.
