Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1961 Gerard Colcord architectural home is well-maintained but largely reflects its original era or dated renovations from over 20 years ago. While the primary suite features some updates like a quartz-topped vanity and an updated shower, the kitchen and secondary bathrooms require modernization to meet current luxury standards. The property is explicitly marketed as a renovation opportunity, though it remains livable with functional systems like central air and heat, slate and hardwood flooring, and 'great bones,' fitting the criteria for a property that is aged but maintained through regular upkeep.
