Built in 1975, this property is aged but appears to have received some updates over the years. The kitchen features hardwood floors, granite countertops, and some newer stainless steel appliances, but also includes older wall ovens and traditional cabinetry, suggesting a partial renovation that isn't brand new. One bathroom has a more modern freestanding tub and glass shower, while another bathroom is clearly dated with older tile and fixtures. The living room carpet and fireplace surround are also dated. The listing explicitly states 'cosmetic repairs needed' and warns of potential for outdated systems, aligning with a home that is functional but requires minor updates and modernization.
