The property, built in 1956, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated, particularly in the kitchen. The kitchen features traditional light wood cabinets, dated tile flooring, and fluorescent strip lighting, suggesting a renovation that occurred 20-30 years ago rather than a recent update. While appliances include a newer stainless steel range and dishwasher, the overall aesthetic and the older refrigerator indicate a lack of comprehensive modern renovation. The property description also notes that the home 'may require significant updates to systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet modern standards.' This aligns with the 'Fair' category, where the home is aged but maintained, major components are functional but outdated, and minor updates or repairs are required to bring it to current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19858, living area = 4274.
The unique 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom configuration, with 8 private half-baths, explicitly supports multigenerational living, rental opportunities, or business ventures.
A stunning central atrium provides abundant natural light and creates a peaceful, open ambiance, enhancing the home's character.
Built in 1956, the home may require significant updates to systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet modern standards and energy efficiency expectations.
