More Insights

Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: Built in 1941, the property features recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and refinished hardwood floors, and functional upgrades such as dual-paned windows. However, the kitchen, while clean and functional with a farmhouse sink and butcher block countertops, retains older-style painted cabinets and dated double ovens. The bathrooms are well-maintained but feature styles (e.g., glass block windows, traditional light fixtures, older vanity styles) and materials that suggest renovations from 15-30 years ago rather than recent modern updates. The absence of central air conditioning and the inherent age of core systems for a 1941 build also contribute to it falling into the 'Fair' category, indicating it's aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1337, other record living area = 1287.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months.
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1941, while cosmetic updates are evident, the age of the home suggests potential for older plumbing, electrical, or other core systems that may require future inspection or upgrades.
Inconsistent School Ratings: While some nearby schools are highly rated, others have lower performance ratings (e.g., Edendale Middle School rated 1), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier schools across all levels.
