Condition: Built in 1980, this property has undergone significant and recent updates, including a beautifully remodeled, modern primary bath, new kitchen appliances, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. While the kitchen cabinets appear to be painted older units and the countertops are dated tile, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required.
