Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, the property is well-maintained but dated. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older tile countertops and cabinetry likely renovated over 20 years ago. The presence of a wall heater indicates a lack of modern central HVAC, and while the home is functional and move-in ready, it requires cosmetic and systemic updates to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7393, living area = 1143.
The property sits on a generous 7,393 sq ft lot with a detached garage, offering significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to increase property value or rental income.
Despite assessor records showing only two bedrooms, the home features a functional three-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration, providing immediate added utility for families or home offices.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
The mismatch between the physical bedroom count and the assessor's records may complicate the appraisal process or financing for certain loan products.
As a 1953 build, the property may require updates to major systems such as plumbing, electrical, or insulation to meet modern efficiency and safety standards.
