Built in 1981, this 43-year-old property is well-maintained but largely dated. While the kitchen features a high-end Wolf range, the cabinetry, fluorescent light box, and primary bathroom fixtures appear original to the 1980s. The presence of popcorn ceilings and older wood-burning stove further indicate the need for cosmetic updates and modernization to meet current market standards.
