Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, the property shows its age. The kitchen features older tile countertops and backsplash, and while appliances appear functional, they are not modern stainless steel. The bathroom has dated tile work, a basic vanity, and older fixtures. Interior finishes like wood paneling in the bedroom and general flooring appear worn. While functional, the home requires significant updates to meet current standards and preferences, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with outdated components.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
Modest Main Residence: The existing 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with 1008 sqft is relatively small for a property of this acreage and potential, which may necessitate expansion or a new build for buyers seeking more spacious living.
Age of Main Structure: Built in 1953, the main residence is older and likely requires significant updates to systems, finishes, and overall functionality to meet contemporary living standards and preferences.
Investment Required for Modernization: Given the age and size of the main cottage, a buyer should anticipate a substantial investment in renovations or upgrades to fully capitalize on the property's potential and align the living space with the expansive grounds.
