Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This 1978 farmhouse is in move-in ready condition and has been well-maintained with several targeted updates, including new carpeting, updated shower fixtures, and a new water heater. While the property features 'thoughtful modern updates' and a finished basement and barn, it does not qualify as 'excellent' because it has not undergone a comprehensive, full-home renovation within the last five years. The infrastructure and layout retain their original 1970s character, but the overall quality and maintenance of the 20-acre estate and major systems place it firmly in the 'good' category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 881218, living area = 3740.
- Exceptional Development Potential
The 20.23-acre property includes a pre-identified elevated hilltop site ready for a custom estate, allowing the existing 3,740 sq. ft. farmhouse to serve as a secondary residence or guest house.
- Versatile Outbuildings and Space
A separate finished barn and a 1,000 sq. ft. finished basement provide rare flexibility for equestrian use, a professional workshop, or expansive recreation and guest quarters.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
- Dated Infrastructure
Originally constructed in 1978, the home may require more extensive modernization beyond the recent minor updates to meet the aesthetic expectations of contemporary luxury buyers.
