More Insights

Built in 1900 (126 years old).
Condition: Built in 1900, this charming cottage has been well-maintained and features functional living spaces. However, the kitchen, with its light wood cabinets and tile flooring, and the bathrooms, particularly the one with a pedestal sink, show signs of updates that likely occurred 15-30 years ago. While clean and livable, the property would benefit from cosmetic updates to bring its style and features to current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional yet outdated major components.

Unique Creek-side Serenity: Provides a tranquil 'creek-side' setting with 'calming views,' blending natural peace with urban convenience in a private environment.
Charming & Well-Appointed Interior: A 'beautiful... cottage' with a 'thoughtfully designed floor plan,' 'spacious bedrooms,' and 'stylishly appointed bathrooms,' exuding character and comfort.
No Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: Absence of HOA fees offers significant cost savings and greater autonomy for the homeowner.
Recent Price Adjustment: The 'New great price!' indicates a recent strategic price reduction, potentially offering enhanced value and buyer appeal.

Cons

Historic Property Age: Built in 1900, the property's age may imply potential for older systems (plumbing, electrical) or require ongoing maintenance typical of historic homes, which are not explicitly updated in the description.
Compact Lot Size: With a lot size of 2,178 sqft, outdoor space is relatively limited, which might not appeal to buyers seeking extensive yard space or future expansion opportunities.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1,366 sqft, the living space, while described as inviting, may be considered modest for some buyers, potentially limiting flexibility for larger families or those desiring more expansive rooms.
