More Insights

Built in 1986 (40 years old).
Condition: Built in 1986, this property is well-maintained for its age, with functional updates like stainless steel kitchen appliances, a newer Lennox AC unit, and an ADA-accessible primary shower. However, the kitchen cabinets, countertops, and lighting are dated, as are the guest bathroom vanity and lighting. The green carpeting throughout the bedrooms also shows significant age. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to modernize the aesthetics and bring it to current style standards.
