Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained but remains largely in its original 1950s-1970s state. While it features high-value functional updates like a newer roof and central HVAC, the interior is dated with wood paneling, worn carpeting, vintage monochromatic bathroom fixtures, and an original kitchen with older appliances and linoleum flooring. It is functional and livable but requires comprehensive cosmetic modernization.
Boasting over 60 years of pride of ownership, the property features essential high-value updates including a newer roof and central air and heat, providing immediate comfort and peace of mind.
The home offers a spacious floor plan with a rare separate primary suite and ensuite bathroom, providing a level of privacy and functionality often missing in 1950s-era builds.
The property features a beautifully landscaped front yard and a generously sized backyard, offering a perfect space for outdoor entertaining and future customization.
While well-maintained, the interior is described as a 'canvas for your vision,' indicating that the finishes are likely dated and will require additional investment to meet modern aesthetic standards.
Although the elementary school is conveniently located nearby, the assigned middle and high schools have lower performance ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused buyers.
