More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1955, is well-maintained with functional systems like central air/heat and a recently replaced pool motor. However, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets and tile countertops, and the bathrooms also show significantly outdated tile, vanities, and fixtures. While some areas have updated laminate flooring and newer carpet, the core wet areas require substantial modernization to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for an aged home with outdated major components.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence features a sunken living room filled with natural light and highlighted by a pitched wood-beamed ceiling — a warm and inviting focal point. The dining area flows seamlessly within the living space, creating an open setting for everyday living or entertaining.
