Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1941, this property is well-maintained but dated, featuring an original 'vintage' kitchen and period bathroom fixtures that are over 20 years old. While the interior has been freshly painted and the hardwood floors are in good condition, the original multi-pane windows and significant cracking in the driveway indicate a need for minor repairs and modernization of core systems.
The generous 6,418-square-foot lot provides significant space for future expansions, an ADU, or a customized outdoor retreat, offering substantial long-term value growth.
This 1941 Traditional home features well-preserved period details, including original hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, and multi-pane windows that offer timeless appeal.
Freshly painted inside and out with drought-tolerant landscaping, the property presents excellent curb appeal and immediate move-in readiness for a new owner.
With only 917 square feet of living space and a single bathroom, the home's footprint may be restrictive for buyers seeking modern scale or multiple bathrooms.
The vintage kitchen and original 1940s features, while charming, will likely require capital investment to upgrade to contemporary efficiency and aesthetic standards.
