Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1976, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated in key areas. The kitchen features older cabinets, countertops, and a very dated mirrored backsplash, despite having some updated stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit dated styles, including wallpaper, gold-tone fixtures, and older vanities. While functional and clean, the aesthetic components suggest a renovation that occurred 15-30 years ago, requiring minor updates to meet current standards.
