Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, this property is aged but appears to be maintained. The MLS description explicitly states it 'is in need of some cosmetic updates' and offers 'a perfect opportunity for those looking to add personal touches.' The kitchen features very dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older black appliances (except for a newer microwave), and mosaic-style tile flooring, all of which require a full renovation to meet modern standards. The bathrooms are also significantly outdated, with one featuring a gold-framed shower and older vanity, and the other having a basic tub surround and checkered floor. While the living areas have hardwood floors and rustic charm with beamed ceilings and a wood-burning stove, the overall interior finishes, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, are functional but show clear signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 75794, living area = 1618.
