The property was built in 1952, but the listing mentions it has been remodeled and maintained throughout the years. The kitchen appears to have updated cabinets and appliances, but the style is not modern. The bathroom has been updated with a walk-in shower, but the overall design is not contemporary. The interior has a mix of updated and older features, such as the wood ceilings and some of the flooring. Overall, the property shows its age but has been maintained with some updates.
