Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989, this property is exceptionally well-maintained but remains largely in its original architectural state. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and older appliances that reflect the home's 35-year age. While it features some upgrades like newer dual-pane windows, the overall aesthetic—including sunken rooms and period-specific fixtures—aligns with the criteria for a property built 25-40 years ago without a major modern renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 25844, living area = 3523.
The property features distinctive castle-style architecture and extensive high-quality solid oak craftsmanship throughout, including custom moldings, cabinetry, and a built-in bar, offering a rare sense of character.
With five bedrooms and a private main-level suite featuring backyard access, the home is perfectly configured for guests or multi-generational living arrangements, providing both privacy and convenience.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Built in 1989, the heavy wood finishes, sunken rooms, and castle-themed aesthetic may feel dated to modern buyers and require significant investment to achieve a contemporary look.
