Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1965, the property features recent cosmetic updates like new carpet and flooring, but the core areas remain dated. The kitchen and bathrooms show cabinetry, tile countertops, and wallpaper consistent with a 20-30 year old renovation cycle. While functional and move-in ready with central HVAC, it requires modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10639, living area = 1760.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and additional unfinished loft spaces, this 1,760 sq ft home provides a versatile floor plan suitable for large families or high-capacity vacation use.
The property features an oversized attached garage and an expansive concrete driveway with a side yard, offering rare and generous space for RVs, boats, and multiple mountain toys.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Originally built in 1965, the home may require future updates to core mechanical or structural systems that typically accompany properties of this era despite recent cosmetic improvements.
The presence of unfinished loft-style bonus spaces means the buyer will need to invest additional time and capital to fully complete and utilize these areas as functional living square footage.
