Property is moderate renovation needed.
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 has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8874, living area = 1142.
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).
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
At 1,142 square feet, the living space is relatively small for a 4-bedroom home, which may result in smaller individual bedroom sizes and limited common area space.
Built in 1948, the property may still possess older plumbing or electrical components typical of the era that were not mentioned as part of the recent major system updates.
