Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this property is a well-maintained example of an aged home with some modern updates, most notably the wood-look tile flooring throughout. While move-in ready, the single-bathroom configuration, older window styles, and dated exterior infrastructure reflect its age. It lacks the comprehensive, high-end renovation of the kitchen and major systems necessary to qualify for a 'good' or 'excellent' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7405, living area = 1146.
Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
Located in Dreamland Villa, this property offers the rare benefit of optional HOA membership, allowing owners to enjoy a 55+ community lifestyle without mandatory monthly fees unless they choose to access amenities.
