Built in 1965, this architectural custom home is well-maintained and staged but remains largely in its original or older updated state. The kitchen features dated dark cabinetry, parquet flooring, and old-fashioned fluorescent light boxes. Interior features like wood-paneled walls and older light fixtures show significant age. While the structure appears sound and the living spaces are expansive with vaulted ceilings, the property requires comprehensive modernization of the kitchen, bathrooms, and finishes to meet current quality standards, as noted in the listing's own description.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 18800, living area = 3540.
