Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained but significantly dated, largely reflecting its 1977 year built. While the roof is a major plus (replaced in 2020), the interior requires modernization. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older tile countertops, fluorescent light boxes, and original-style cabinetry. The presence of popcorn ceilings, dated red carpeting, and 1970s-era floor tiles confirms it falls into the 'Fair' category, needing cosmetic updates and minor repairs to meet modern standards.
The property is exceptionally located within walking distance to Mile Square Park, top-rated schools, and essential amenities, offering high desirability and convenience.
The 2,020 sq. ft. layout includes a downstairs bedroom with a separate entry and a spacious master suite with a private balcony, making it ideal for multi-generational living.
A new red tile roof installed in 2020 and a fully equipped backyard with a covered patio and built-in BBQ provide significant value and reduce immediate maintenance costs.
Built in 1977, the home may require cosmetic or modern renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet contemporary luxury standards and buyer expectations.
While the property features central heating, there is no mention of a central air conditioning system, which is a significant consideration for comfort during warmer months.
