Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, this property retains much of its original character, including fir floors and tongue-and-groove walls, which show significant wear and tear. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, an older white refrigerator, and a basic white range. The bathrooms also present with dated tile work, basic fixtures, and vinyl flooring. While functional and appearing maintained, the property lacks modern updates in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, and the absence of central cooling and potentially older major systems (given the build year) indicates it requires minor to moderate updates to meet current standards and preferences.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12632, living area = 1160.
