The property was built in 1952 but has had a 500 sq ft addition in 2019. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and a large island. The bathrooms appear to be updated, but one is described as 'His and Hers bathrooms with a marble Roman tub in Hers!' which suggests they may not be fully renovated to modern standards. The property has new windows, a new roof, and updated cooling/heating systems. Overall, the property is in good condition and move-in ready, but it is not fully renovated.
