Built in 1960, this property retains much of its original mid-century character. While some areas like the primary bathroom show signs of updates (likely 10-15 years ago), the kitchen features dated white appliances and a specific backsplash style that is no longer current. Other bathrooms and living areas also exhibit older styles (e.g., wood paneling, unique fireplace, patterned wallpaper in powder room). The listing description explicitly states it offers an 'opportunity for thoughtful restoration' or 'modern reinterpretation,' indicating it requires substantial updates to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 35571, living area = 3395.
