TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1963, the property is functional and livable but dated. The interior features basic finishes, and the exterior shows an older HVAC unit and outdoor laundry setup. The listing explicitly notes the home is a 'versatile canvas' ready for personalization and updates over time.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
