Condition: Built in 1971, this cabin exhibits significant signs of age with very outdated finishes and systems. The kitchen features original-era dark cabinets, pink laminate countertops, and basic white appliances, while the single bathroom is equally dated with old fixtures. The interior is dominated by extensive wood paneling and a deep reddish-purple shag carpet, indicating no major renovations in decades. While structurally sound, it requires substantial rehabilitation to modernize and improve comfort, aligning with the 'value add potential' mentioned in the listing.
