More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this charming cottage has been exceptionally well-maintained and features several significant updates. The property boasts beautiful hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light. The kitchen includes modern stainless steel appliances and classic white cabinetry, though the granite countertops, while functional, are not the most current style. The master bathroom has been nicely updated with a large glass-enclosed shower and quality tile work, though the vanity's natural wood tone is a bit dated. The second bathroom is clean and functional but reflects a more traditional style. Overall, the home is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, fitting the 'Good' criteria for its well-maintained systems and partial updates, despite not having undergone a full, recent, top-to-bottom renovation.
