The property was built in 1986 (approx. 40 years old) and, while well-maintained, features dated interior finishes including original-style oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, and older tile flooring. Although key systems like the HVAC compressor and water heater have been updated, the kitchen and bath aesthetics require modernization to meet current market standards.
