* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2002, this property is over 20 years old and retains most of its original finishes, including builder-grade oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and linoleum flooring. While the home appears well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms are stylistically outdated and have not undergone the significant renovations required for a higher score. The carpet shows some signs of age, and the overall aesthetic reflects its original construction period.
Boasting 4 bedrooms and over 2,000 square feet of living space, this home provides a generous floor plan featuring a walk-in closet, indoor laundry, and a two-car garage.
The property is equipped with essential modern comforts including central AC, a cozy fireplace, and a full suite of appliances—refrigerator, washer, and dryer—included in the sale.
Ideally situated for families, the home is within walking distance (less than 0.6 miles) of both Allan Peterson Elementary and Herbert H. Cruickshank Middle School.
The presence of vinyl and linoleum flooring, combined with the 2002 construction style, may require cosmetic updates to meet the aesthetic preferences of modern buyers.
A significant $35,000 price reduction shortly after listing suggests the property may have been initially overvalued or is facing extended days on the market.
