Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1955 and offered 'AS-IS' for the first time in nearly 70 years, the home is in original condition and exceeds the 30-year threshold for rehab. The presence of a window AC unit indicates a lack of modern central HVAC, and the dated interior (green carpet, wood paneling, original built-ins) requires a full restoration of kitchens, baths, and systems.
The property includes a rare historic underground fallout shelter, offering versatile potential for conversion into a specialized wine cellar, tasting room, or creative hobby space.
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac near multiple schools, the home offers a safe, peaceful environment that is highly desirable for families.
The 6,511-square-foot lot features mature trees and ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or potential future expansions.
With only one bathroom serving three bedrooms, the current configuration may be a drawback for modern families and could necessitate a future remodel.
The home is being sold in as-is condition after 70 years of single-family ownership, indicating a likely need for significant cosmetic updates and modernization.
