Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1935, this property is described as a charming, well-maintained home rather than a modern renovation. While it features functional spaces like a bright kitchen with tiled floors and a detached cottage, the lack of mention regarding recent high-end updates or system overhauls suggests the property is aged with older cosmetic styles. It meets the 'fair' criteria as a home that has been maintained through regular upkeep but likely requires minor updates to meet current modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 17515, living area = 2750.
