Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1944, this property is an aged mountain cottage that has been maintained through regular upkeep, including a newer roof and fresh exterior paint. However, the 'as-is' sale condition and 'rustic' description suggest that the interior components, specifically the kitchen and single bathroom, are likely outdated and may require minor updates or modernization to meet current standards. While functional and charming, it lacks the comprehensive recent renovations required for a higher rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7600, living area = 940.
The property features a versatile floor plan including a private bonus room with a separate entrance, ideal for a home office, guest suite, or rental opportunity.
An expansive entertainer’s deck and large terraced yard provide exceptional outdoor living space with scenic woodland views, perfect for mountain relaxation.
