Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, the home features high-quality cosmetic updates including recently refinished hardwood floors and fresh interior paint, alongside modern additions like mini-split HVAC units. However, the listing explicitly states that the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and require modern updates. While the property is move-in ready and well-maintained, the core utility rooms and overall age align with the 'fair' criteria of having functional but outdated major components.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10498, living area = 2304.
