Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, this mid-century home is well-maintained and functional but shows signs of age. The interior features dated carpeting and basic fixtures, and while the description mentions 'neutral' tile, there is no evidence of a major renovation within the last 15 years. The systems and finishes likely require modernization and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7527, living area = 1481.
Designed by architect George N. Richards, this mid-century modern home features unique angles and curved walls that offer a distinct aesthetic appeal rarely found at this price point.
