Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the property features significant system upgrades (200 amp panel, copper plumbing, and central HVAC), the kitchen is dated with 20+ year old oak cabinetry and tile countertops. Built in 1958, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to the primary living areas to move beyond a 'fair' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7970, living area = 1799.
Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
The property features essential modern mechanical upgrades, including central A/C and heat, a 200-amp electrical panel, copper plumbing, and dual-pane windows, reducing immediate capital expenditure for a buyer.
The presence of classic oak cabinetry and extensive tile flooring throughout may feel dated to contemporary buyers, likely requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern design preferences.
While the middle school is highly rated, the closest elementary school carries a lower rating of 4, which may be a drawback for families with young children prioritizing top-tier local education.
