Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, this home has received cosmetic updates, including a refreshed bathroom with a modern shower and vanity, newer laminate/vinyl flooring throughout the main living areas, and fresh paint. The kitchen features painted cabinets and a mix of appliances, some appearing older (refrigerator, range hood) and some more modern (built-in oven). While move-in ready and well-maintained cosmetically, the property's age suggests that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) are likely older and may be outdated, even if functional, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components show signs of being outdated and may require future attention.

The bungalow exudes a 'charming and quaint' character and warmth, appealing to buyers seeking a distinctive and inviting home.
Features a lush yard with an array of mature fruit trees (plum, apple, cherry, fig, lime), enhancing curb appeal and offering a unique lifestyle benefit.
