TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, this cabin is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows clear signs of aging. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry and tile countertops likely from a 20+ year old renovation, and the bathrooms and flooring reflect older styles. While functional, the property requires cosmetic updates and likely system evaluations due to its age.
