The property is well-maintained and features important system updates, including a newer roof and HVAC. However, the interior is significantly dated, with the kitchen and bathrooms retaining mid-century tiling, cabinetry, and fixtures consistent with its 1948 construction. While functional and move-in ready, the home requires cosmetic modernization and updates to flooring and appliances to meet current market standards.

The property features a newer roof (approx. 5 years old) and a modern HVAC system (approx. 4 years old), significantly reducing the risk of immediate high-cost capital expenditures for the buyer.
Sitting on an 8,874 square foot lot, the property offers substantial outdoor space, providing excellent potential for landscaping, entertaining, or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
