More Insights

Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: The home, built in 1956, benefits from recent system upgrades like a new furnace and water heater, freshly painted interior, and refinished hardwood floors. However, the kitchen features dated tiled countertops and older white appliances, and the bathrooms, while functional and clean, exhibit older tile styles and fixtures. These areas show signs of being outdated and would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2080, other record living area = 1700. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: There is no mention of a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially given the 1956 build year.
Split-Level Design: The split-level architecture, while offering distinct zones, may not appeal to all buyers who prefer single-level living or a more traditional multi-story floor plan.
Potential for Further Modernization: Despite recent system upgrades, the 1956 build year suggests other areas of the home, such as windows or specific bathroom finishes, might still reflect an older aesthetic and could require future investment for full modernization to contemporary standards.
