Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1956, this property is in livable condition but shows clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older white appliances, dated dark cabinetry, and a vintage ceiling fan. While the bathroom has an updated vanity and granite countertop, the overall aesthetic across the home—including the original built-ins, flooring, and exterior features—suggests that most renovations occurred over 15 years ago. It requires cosmetic updates and likely system modernizations to meet current 'Good' or 'Excellent' standards.
