The property is well-maintained and functional but remains largely in its original 1994 condition. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry, white tile countertops, and basic white appliances consistent with the era of construction. Interior finishes such as wallpaper borders, older carpet, and fluorescent lighting indicate the home has not undergone significant modern renovations in over 30 years, though it appears to have been kept in clean, liveable condition.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7500, living area = 1520.
As one of the largest lots in the area, equivalent to three parcels, this property offers rare privacy and significant potential for expansion or outdoor development.
Situated in a highly coveted neighborhood, the home is minutes away from Bear Mountain Resort, the golf course, and the popular Moonridge corridor shops and dining.
The assigned elementary and middle schools have low ratings, which may be a significant drawback for families looking to use the property as a primary residence.
