Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, it is a 1940s structure with renovations that appear to be 20+ years old. The kitchen features dated oak-style cabinetry and white appliances, and the bathrooms are described as having 'vintage character' rather than modern updates. The presence of recessed lighting and central HVAC are positives, but the overall aesthetic and age of the key functional areas (kitchen/baths) align with the 'Fair' criteria for being dated and needing cosmetic updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7512, living area = 1719.
