Built in 1960, this home is well-maintained but shows its age in key areas. The kitchen features dated tiled countertops, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring, which, while clean and functional, are significantly outdated. The laundry area also has similar dated flooring. The living areas and bedrooms appear to have more recent updates with hardwood floors and clean carpets, and the overall property is tidy. However, the kitchen and likely the bathroom (not pictured, but inferred from the kitchen's condition) would require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
