Property is move-in ready.

The property is in move-in ready condition, benefiting from recent cosmetic refreshments including fresh interior paint and new carpeting throughout. While the kitchen and bathrooms are impeccably maintained and functional, they feature older styles such as electric coil-top ranges and dated cabinetry rather than a full modern renovation. The 1966 structure appears well-preserved with no immediate deferred maintenance noted, though systems like the baseboard heating and lack of existing in-unit laundry reflect its original era.
