While the kitchen cabinetry and tile countertops are dated, the overall condition is functional and updated in key areas.

The property features a rare 10,931-square-foot corner lot, offering a massive side yard that provides significant opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or future expansion.
Within the last six years, the home has been updated with remodeled bathrooms, dual-pane windows, new garage doors, and waterproof Pergo flooring, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.

Despite recent cosmetic and surface updates, the 1953 construction may still harbor original underlying plumbing or electrical components that could require future capital investment.
