Property is extensive renovation needed.
The home was built in 1961 and has been held by the same family for over 40 years. The kitchen features laminate cabinetry and appliances that appear to be from a 30-40 year old renovation. Based on the criteria, the age of the home (>50 years) and the dated state of the kitchen and systems require a full rehab to meet modern standards.

The 5,800 square foot lot provides a substantial backyard space, offering rare potential for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or the future addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Held by the same family for over 40 years, the property features 'solid bones' and serves as an ideal canvas for a buyer looking to build significant sweat equity through modern renovations.
