Built in 1970, this property is functional and maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated.

The compact 4-bedroom layout and older interior finishes suggest the home is ready for cosmetic modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7802, living area = 1152.
The property includes an owned solar system that conveys with the sale, offering the new owner significant long-term savings on energy costs and increased utility efficiency.
Situated on a 7,802 square foot lot, the home provides an expansive backyard that offers ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or potential future improvements.
