Redfin agents who toured

This home is a Split Entry style home built in 1989. The home could use some updating, the kitchen has Formica counter tops, white cabinets, black appliances and laminate flooring. The bathrooms have older fixtures and Formica surfaces. Flooring on...
the main level is mainly carpet except for the kitchen and bathrooms. On the lower level there is an In-Law apartment complete with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Flooring on the lower level is vinyl tiles. Heat is provided by a gas forced warm air furnace which appear to be in good order, hot water is from a gas hot water heater, which appears to be a bit older. This home backs up to a large stone outcropping and there is effectively no back yard. The exterior of the home seems to be in good condition as does the roof.
