Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1990, is well-maintained and move-in ready with recent cosmetic improvements including fresh interior paint, new carpet, and a brand-new AC unit. However, it falls into the 'fair' category as it is over 30 years old and lacks a full modern renovation; the kitchen and bathrooms appear to retain their original 1990s cabinetry and styling, and the appliances are older white models rather than contemporary stainless steel.
The home features a brand-new AC unit, fresh interior paint, and updated flooring, offering a move-in-ready experience and reducing immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
With 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this property provides a highly functional and versatile floor plan that is rare for its price point, making it an excellent starter home.
Situated within walking distance to Tompkins Elementary and close to local shopping, the property offers high accessibility while benefiting from the absence of monthly HOA fees.
The lot size of 3,485 sqft is relatively small for a 4-bedroom residence, which may restrict outdoor activities, gardening, or future expansion possibilities.
A recent price reduction from $398,000 to $388,000 suggests the property is still adjusting to find its market value relative to current buyer demand.
