Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, the property is well-maintained but significantly dated. While the listing mentions newer windows and 'good' bathrooms, the visual evidence shows 20+ year old finishes including original-style wood cabinetry, tile countertops, wood paneling, and popcorn ceilings. The use of an evaporative cooler rather than a modern HVAC system and the overall age of the interior finishes necessitate cosmetic updates and system modernizations.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8132, living area = 1749.
The 1,749 sq. ft. layout includes a large bonus room and a primary suite with retractable wall doors, offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, a home office, or a media room.
The home features newer windows and a clean, functional interior, allowing buyers to move in immediately while providing the opportunity to add value through gradual cosmetic updates.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =8132, other record lot size in square feet = 8276.
As a 1951 build with a mention of 'room to update finishes,' the property likely requires a budget for cosmetic modernization to meet contemporary design standards.
