Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1947, this home is functional and livable but significantly dated. While the original hardwood floors are a plus, the bathrooms feature vintage 1950s-style tiling and older vanities, and the exterior shows age with a cracked driveway. It requires cosmetic updates and likely system overhauls to meet modern standards.
