Built in 1978, this architecturally unique home is well-maintained with notable updates like solar panels and a composite roof. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, retains a dated aesthetic with original or older cabinetry, appliances, fixtures, and tile work. While functional, these key areas show signs of being outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to align with current styles and preferences.
