TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, the property is nearly 50 years old and shows signs of partial updates (granite countertops, marble-patterned tile flooring) that appear to be 15-25 years old. The presence of popcorn ceilings, dated wood cabinetry in the kitchen/bar, and older bathroom fixtures indicate the home is functional but requires significant cosmetic modernization to meet current standards.
