TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984 (40 years old), the property falls into the >20-year category. While the exterior shows solar panels and the listing describes it as 'beautiful,' the age suggests that the kitchen, bathrooms, and primary systems (HVAC/Electric) are likely dated or past their typical 20-year lifecycle, requiring updates to meet modern standards.
