Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1954 vintage estate with a hacienda-style interior that appears to have been last renovated approximately 20-30 years ago. While the home is functional and 'character-rich,' the kitchen features dated blue-and-white tile countertops and older cabinetry, and the exterior concrete shows cracking. It is move-in ready but requires significant aesthetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 1048489, living area = 1800.
The property features 24± usable acres with both municipal water and a private well, providing exceptional versatility and reliability for agricultural, equestrian, or hobby farming pursuits.
A second on-site residence offers significant flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or consistent rental income to offset the mortgage.
Originally built in 1954, the property may require significant modernization of its core systems and finishes to align with contemporary luxury standards.
With only 1,800 square feet in the main house, the interior living area may feel undersized relative to the massive 24-acre lot and the premium price point.
