Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1958 mid-century home that showcases high-quality preservation rather than modern renovation. While the original oak hardwood floors are in excellent condition and the backyard has been updated with a saltwater pool and turf, the kitchen and bathrooms remain in their original 'retro' state with 1950s-style turquoise appliances and tiled surfaces. Because the core interior components are over 60 years old and have not been extensively renovated to meet current modern standards, it falls into the 'Fair' category despite its move-in ready condition.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8304, living area = 1740.
