More Insights

Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1974, is 50 years old and shows significant signs of age and lack of modern updates throughout its interior. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, fluorescent lighting, and old flooring, requiring a complete renovation. Similarly, the bathrooms are extremely outdated with small vanities, old fixtures, and older tile/linoleum, also necessitating full renovation. While the description mentions 'newer heating and air systems,' the overall aesthetic, including extensive wood paneling and older carpeting, indicates that the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization beyond minor updates to meet current quality standards. The exterior appears maintained but rustic, and the landscaping is unkempt.

It sits along 52nd Street and is surrounded by beautiful natural landscaping, plus a detached 2-car garage with a workshop area.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual Permitted Residences: The property features two permitted homes (a main residence and a separate guest house), offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, potential rental income, or dedicated home office/studio space.

Abundant Storage & Workshop Facilities: Includes three large metal storage buildings and a detached 2-car garage with a workshop area, providing extensive space for equipment, vehicles, hobbies, or business needs.

Blended Lifestyle Location: Offers a unique blend of rural tranquility in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood while maintaining convenient access to city amenities, including shopping, schools, and other services.

Cons

Significant Square Footage Discrepancy: There is a notable discrepancy between the listed square footage (1620 sqft) and the combined square footage detailed in the description for the main (1700 sqft) and guest (768 sqft) homes (totaling 2468 sqft). This requires clarification for accurate valuation and buyer understanding.
Age of Main Residence: Built in 1974, the main residence is 50 years old. While HVAC is newer, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) and interior finishes may be original or require updates, potentially incurring future maintenance or renovation costs.
High Maintenance Potential for Large Lot: The 2.39-acre 'farm-style' property implies substantial ongoing landscaping, upkeep, and general property maintenance, which could be a significant commitment for buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
