Property is move-in ready.
Although originally built in 1930, this property is move-in ready and has undergone significant updates that align with the 'good' condition category. The kitchen features high-end appliances and modern finishes, and the primary suite has been updated for contemporary comfort. The presence of well-maintained hardwood floors, a functional guest cottage, and meticulously manicured landscaping indicates consistent upkeep and that major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan without the need for immediate renovation.
The inclusion of a separate 567-square-foot, 1-bedroom guest cottage provides significant value, offering flexibility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office.
Located in the highly sought-after Proctor Terrace area, the property boasts exceptional walkability and is situated just 0.06 miles from the local elementary school.
