Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1939, this home is well-maintained with key system updates including a newer roof and electrical rewiring. However, the kitchen and bathroom remain dated with older tile countertops and flooring (>20 years), and much of the interior relies on original 1930s features, necessitating cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property features meticulously preserved 1939 details, including original hardwood floors, a vintage fireplace mantle with original tile, and unique built-ins that define the highly sought-after Wood Streets aesthetic.

Situated on the coveted Elmwood Court within the historic Wood Streets, the home benefits from a prestigious location known for mature landscaping, community character, and strong property value retention.
With only two bedrooms and a single bathroom across 1,040 square feet, the home's compact footprint may be a constraint for growing families or buyers requiring a dedicated home office.
The property is zoned for schools with mixed performance scores, including a middle school with a low rating, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
