Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1950, features updated kitchen and bath with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and a mix of flooring. While described as 'move-in ready' and having an 'efficient HVAC system,' the visible window and wall-mounted AC units in the images contradict a modern central cooling system, suggesting older or piecemeal solutions. The style of the kitchen cabinets, granite, and tile backsplash appears to be from renovations done 15-25 years ago, making them functional but somewhat outdated. Light fixtures are basic. The property is maintained and livable, but the age of the structure and the dated nature of some updates and systems prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating.
Highly coveted R-3-R zoning allows for multi-unit housing (duplex, triplex, fourplex, or more) with significant buildable floor area, offering substantial investment upside.
Expansive, fully fenced yard ideal for homesteading, urban farming, outdoor living, RV parking, workshops, and future additions.
