Built in 1933, this cabin shows its age but appears well-maintained with some updates like the tile flooring. However, the kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, older white appliances, and a basic sink, while the 0.75-bath is functional but also very outdated with tile countertops and a basic shower stall. Heating relies on wall heaters and a wood stove, not modern central HVAC. It's livable and charming but requires substantial updates to the kitchen and bathroom to meet contemporary standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9583, living area = 518.
