Built in 1989, the property is well-maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features dark wood cabinets and granite countertops, likely updated 15-25 years ago, with functional but not contemporary appliances. One bathroom includes dated elements like glass block windows and older vanity styles, while another appears slightly more updated but still not modern. Flooring throughout is consistent with an older aesthetic. The home is functional and move-in ready, but requires significant cosmetic updates to align with current design trends and buyer expectations for its price point and location.
