Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and features fresh interior and exterior paint, but it remains largely in its original 1970s state. While functional and clean, the interior requires cosmetic updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring (including popcorn ceilings) to meet modern standards. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged home that has been cared for but shows signs of being outdated.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8995, living area = 2050.
The rare split floor plan features five true bedrooms, offering exceptional flexibility for a home office, teen retreat, or fitness room to suit various lifestyle needs.
Ideally situated with easy freeway access and close proximity to Sky Harbor Airport, Kiwanis Park, and three local schools, making it a highly desirable area for families and commuters.
While the home features new paint and quality construction, the interior finishes are dated and require a full aesthetic update to meet modern luxury standards.
Built in 1973, the property may have older mechanical systems or insulation standards that could necessitate additional maintenance or energy-efficiency upgrades compared to newer builds.
