More Insights
Built in 1920 (105 years old).
Condition: This 1920-built home has undergone significant and thoughtful updates, including a roof replacement 2 years ago, new mini-split HVAC systems, and attic insulation, making it energy-efficient and move-in ready. The exterior shows fresh paint and updated landscaping, contributing to strong curb appeal. While the description highlights 'modern upgrades' and 'thoughtfully updated,' the absence of interior images, particularly of the kitchen and bathroom, prevents a higher 'Excellent' score. Without visual confirmation of these key areas and considering the age of the original underlying systems (as noted in the weaknesses), it's difficult to ascertain if all components meet 'virtually new' standards. However, the major system updates and overall 'move-in ready' status firmly place it in the 'Good' category.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Updates: The home boasts recent and thoughtful updates including mini-splits for personalized HVAC, new attic insulation, a 2-year-old roof, and updated landscaping, making it move-in ready.
Versatile Finished Garage: The finished garage with drywall provides valuable flexible space, ideal for a home office, gym, or creative studio, enhancing the property's utility.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Mini-split systems in each bedroom and new attic insulation significantly improve energy efficiency and comfort, leading to potential cost savings.
Strong Curb Appeal & Low Maintenance Exterior: An oversized front yard, freshly painted porch, updated landscaping, and an automatic sprinkler system contribute to excellent curb appeal and ease of maintenance.
Recent Roof Replacement: A major system like the roof having been replaced just two years ago offers significant peace of mind and reduces immediate capital expenditure for the new owner.
Cons
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property may not accommodate larger households or those requiring additional space, potentially narrowing the buyer demographic.
Compact Interior Square Footage: The 968 sqft interior living space is relatively small for a single-family residence, which could be a constraint for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Age of Property (1920 Build): Despite recent updates, the 1920 construction year may raise concerns for some buyers regarding the condition of original underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that might not have been fully modernized.
