Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this home is well-maintained and move-in ready but clearly dated. The listing description explicitly mentions the need for 'personalization,' 'cosmetic enhancements,' and 'modern updates' to the kitchen and bathrooms. While the hardwood floors and paint appear to be in decent condition, the property lacks a recent major renovation (15-30+ years) and requires updates to meet modern standards.
Elementary School: Gant Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Tincher Preparatory School (9/10).
The property is ideally located within walking distance of Gant Elementary, which boasts a perfect 10/10 rating, making it a premier choice for families prioritizing high-quality education.
Unlike many homes of this era, this property features a dedicated primary suite with an ensuite bathroom and direct backyard access, offering a private and functional retreat.
The home is positioned as a 'personalization opportunity,' suggesting that significant cosmetic updates and renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms are needed to meet contemporary standards.
At approximately 1,065 square feet for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom configuration, the interior living space is relatively compact, which may feel restrictive for some buyers.
