Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old and shows minimal evidence of significant updates since its original construction. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older appliances, and linoleum flooring, all requiring a full renovation. The single bathroom is equally dated with an old vanity, countertop, sink, fluorescent lighting, and a basic tub/shower combo. The property relies on a swamp cooler and wood-burning stove for climate control, lacking modern central HVAC. Flooring throughout includes dated linoleum/vinyl and old carpet. Overall, the home requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current living standards and aesthetics.
