Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1988, falls into the fair category as it is over 30 years old without a full-scale renovation. While it features move-in ready cosmetic updates like fresh paint and brand-new carpet, the kitchen and bathrooms appear to maintain their original late-80s styling and fixtures. Additionally, the mention of a seller-provided new roof indicates that major systems are reaching the end of their expected lifespan.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1705.
Following a significant $50,000 price reduction, the property offers high value, further bolstered by the seller's willingness to install a brand-new roof with an acceptable offer.
The interior has been refreshed with brand-new carpet and fresh paint, providing a clean, updated aesthetic that allows for immediate occupancy without initial renovation stress.
The solar system is leased rather than owned, which requires the buyer to assume a contract and may complicate the financing process or long-term utility cost projections.
While the interior is refreshed, the 1988 build date and the immediate need for a roof replacement suggest that other major systems may be approaching the end of their functional lifespan.
