Functional Floor Plan with Recent Updates: The home features a nice floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a separate living and dining room, and benefits from newer flooring and windows, providing a solid foundation.
Ample Parking and Gated Access: A detached one-car garage, a long driveway, and a gated front yard with access to both sides of the home provide convenient parking, security, and flexible access.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The description explicitly states 'The front house requires work' and 'Looking for a property to add value?', indicating that significant renovation and investment will be necessary.
Age-Related System Concerns: Built in 1947, the property is an older home, suggesting that major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or require substantial upgrades, despite some cosmetic updates.
Limited Garage Space: The property includes only a detached one-car garage, which may be insufficient for households requiring more covered parking, storage, or workshop space.
