More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: This 1952-built home has undergone significant updates, including laminate flooring, dual-pane windows, and copper plumbing, which are substantial improvements. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, shaker-style cabinets, and updated granite/quartzite countertops, making it functional and move-in ready. The bathrooms also appear updated with modern vanities and tiling. While the specific style of the countertops might not be the absolute latest trend, the overall condition is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear. The primary drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, but the extensive other updates place it firmly in the 'Good' category, indicating no immediate renovations are required.

About this home
Welcome home! This beautiful traditional updated home features 4 bedrooms (including a primary suite), 2 full baths, family room, laminate floors, dual paned windows, copper plumbing, 1,703 square feet of living space, drought tolerant landscaping, and a 2-car detached garage that is accessed by private gated driveway on 185th Street. Award winning schools too... North High School is ranked 9 out of 10 on the API (Academic Performance Index). Note: the garage would be ideal for an ADU. With access from it's own private gated driveway, you could easily divide the big backyard, separating the front house from the back, and the front house would have ample street parking in front of the property. This home is a great investment!
