Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970, the property is over 50 years old with additions made over time. While the living areas show well-maintained hardwood and some newer laminate flooring, the bathrooms are significantly dated (likely 20-30+ years old) with vintage vanities and fixtures. The exterior driveway shows cracking and the overall aesthetic requires modernization, placing it in the 'Fair' category as a functional but dated residence needing updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 118483, living area = 2939.
The property features 2.72 acres of parklike grounds with over 75 mature trees in the prestigious Pine Hills community, offering exceptional privacy and a serene mountain atmosphere.
With 2,939 square feet and a 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom configuration, the home is ideally suited for multigenerational living or as a high-potential short-term rental investment.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 6.
Because the home evolved from a one-room cabin through multiple additions over several decades, the floor plan may lack the cohesive flow and functional layout found in modern builds.
The 1970s construction combined with a heavily wooded 2.72-acre lot suggests significant ongoing maintenance requirements for both the aging structure and the extensive landscape.
