More Insights

Built in 2001 (24 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 2001, making it 23 years old. While the home appears well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated in terms of style and features. The kitchen features traditional light wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and terracotta-style flooring, which are not contemporary. The bathroom also has traditional light wood vanities and small square tiled floors. These areas are functional but would require cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a property built over 20 years ago with no major renovations since construction, where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

Cons

Modest Home Size for Acreage: The 1676 sqft, 2-bed/2-bath home is relatively modest in size compared to the extensive 9.4-acre lot, which may necessitate plans for a larger primary residence for some buyers.
Rural Location & Commute: While offering tranquility, the rural setting implies longer travel times to some urban conveniences and schools (e.g., high school 12 miles away), which could be a consideration for families or those seeking closer amenities.
Potential for Further Investment: The property description explicitly suggests using the current home as a guest house and building a new primary home, indicating that significant additional investment might be desired or required by a buyer to fully utilize the land's potential.
