More Insights
Built in 1970 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this property features a recently and extensively remodeled lower level with a modern kitchen, updated appliances, and a contemporary bathroom. The main level is generally well-maintained, with some updated elements like hardwood flooring in the master bedroom and a renovated master bathroom. While the main level kitchen is functional with stainless steel appliances, its tile countertops and track lighting appear dated. One secondary bathroom on the main level also features very dated green tile. Overall, the property is move-in ready, but a buyer might consider updating the main level kitchen and the dated bathroom to achieve a fully cohesive modern aesthetic throughout.

Remodeled Lower Level: The lower level has been remodeled to function as a complete living area with its own kitchen, living space, fireplace, bedroom, and full bath, adding significant value and utility.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1970, the property may have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future updates or maintenance, despite the remodeled lower level.
Potential for Main Level Updates: While the lower level is remodeled and the main kitchen is functional, other areas of the main level (e.g., bathrooms, finishes) may require modernization to align with contemporary buyer expectations or the updated lower level.
Undeveloped Yard: The description notes an 'expansive yard with room to make it your own unique space,' implying the outdoor areas are not fully landscaped or optimized, which could represent an additional investment for buyers.
