While the property features significant recent exterior upgrades including a new TPO roof, vinyl windows, and fresh paint (2023), the interior remains dated. The kitchen and bathrooms show older tile work, cabinetry, and appliances likely exceeding 20 years in age, and the flooring appears worn, necessitating cosmetic modernization.
The property features a new TPO roof, fresh exterior paint, and new vinyl windows installed in September 2023, significantly reducing immediate maintenance requirements and improving energy efficiency.
