Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1955, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its overall aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, reflects renovations likely completed 15-30 years ago. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, which are a positive update, but the wood cabinetry and tile flooring are traditional and not contemporary. The primary bathroom, with its clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, and large mirrored wall, is distinctly dated in style. While functional, these areas would likely require cosmetic updates to meet modern buyer preferences, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Great Schools: Elementary School: Roscomare Road Elementary School (9/10).
Exceptional Privacy & Seclusion: Tucked away at the end of a long, private, and gated driveway on almost 1/2 acre, the property offers ultimate tranquility and a retreat-like feel, surrounded by lush, mature trees.

Cons

Price History & Market Alignment: Multiple price reductions from the original list price and a current listing price above the property's estimated value suggest potential market resistance or that the property may be perceived as overpriced.
Age of Property & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1955, while charming, the property's age implies that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates not explicitly mentioned, potentially leading to future capital expenditures.
Traditional Design Aesthetics: The description highlights 'spacious, traditional living areas.' While appealing to some, this aesthetic might not align with buyers seeking modern, open-concept layouts or contemporary finishes throughout the entire home.
