Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972 and on the market for the first time, this home is well-maintained but largely reflects its original era. While it features significant recent maintenance like a new roof (2025), fresh interior paint, and partial kitchen updates (stone countertops and stainless steel appliances), many core elements remain dated. The kitchen cabinets are original painted wood with exposed hinges, and the bathrooms feature older vanities and Hollywood-style lighting. The flooring, including the entry tile and carpeting, along with the overall architectural style, indicates a property that is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic modernization to meet contemporary standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8851, living area = 2068.
The property features an expansive yard with a swimming pool, a covered deck for al fresco dining, and a separate view deck, creating a premier space for outdoor entertainment.
The home boasts significant recent maintenance, including a brand-new roof installed in 2025 and a freshly painted interior, providing peace of mind for the next owner.
Being on the market for the first time since 1972, the home may require additional investment to update original finishes and systems to contemporary standards.
A recent price reduction from the initial listing suggests the property is still navigating market alignment to attract competitive offers.
