More Insights

Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: The property presents a blend of updated and well-maintained features, along with a few areas requiring attention. The main house, built in 1962, benefits from significant recent upgrades including a newer roof, newer A/C units, and a luxuriously renovated primary en-suite bathroom with modern fixtures and a freestanding tub. Other bathrooms also appear updated, and living areas feature warm wood floors and newer carpeting. However, the main house kitchen is notably dated with white tile countertops, older white appliances, and a style that would likely require a full renovation for most modern buyers. The detached guest house, built in 2012, is in excellent, modern condition with a full kitchen and updated bathroom. While the main house kitchen and the well pump require updates/repairs, the overall property is move-in ready, with major systems in good condition and a significant portion of the living space (including the guest house) being modern or recently renovated.
