Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this property is a well-maintained but largely original starter home. While it features some updates such as laminate flooring and low-maintenance AstroTurf in the backyard, the kitchen and bathroom remain dated with older tile countertops, basic cabinetry, and vintage fixtures. The home is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic and potentially system modernizations to meet current contemporary standards.
Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
The property features a generous 5,373 sqft lot with a backyard finished in AstroTurf, offering a year-round green space perfect for pets and entertaining without the burden of constant upkeep.
As a 1953 original-condition home, this property serves as an ideal canvas for buyers looking to add value through modern renovations and personalized upgrades in a well-established neighborhood.
With only 800 square feet of living space, the home's interior layout is quite limited, which may pose challenges for buyers requiring more storage or room for a growing family.
Retaining much of its original 1950s character, the home likely requires capital investment for functional and cosmetic updates to meet contemporary living standards.
