Condition Rating
Poor
Despite being built in 2000 and featuring some modern updates like new SPC vinyl flooring downstairs, recessed lighting, and central A/C, the property is far from move-in ready. The kitchen is explicitly described as 'unfinished' with no countertops, sink, or appliances, and the primary bathroom is also 'unfinished.' The upstairs flooring appears to be subfloor/concrete in images, indicating significant work is still required. These critical unfinished areas necessitate substantial repairs and rehabilitation, making the property uncomfortable and not fully functional in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

Cons

Significant Unfinished Areas: The kitchen is unfinished (though cabinetry is on-site) and the primary bathroom is also unfinished, requiring immediate and substantial investment from the buyer to complete.
Limited Bedroom Count: The 1,832 sq ft home on over 4 acres features only one bedroom, which is highly unusual for its size and lot, potentially limiting the buyer pool significantly.
Reliance on Non-Municipal Utilities: The property is serviced by well water, a septic system with a lift pump, and a large on-site propane tank, which may entail higher maintenance, operational costs, and potential concerns for some buyers compared to municipal services.
