While the home is a well-maintained historic bungalow, the major 1990 addition (kitchen and baths) is now 34 years old and reflects dated aesthetics. Key systems are mixed: the roof (2015) and water heater (2022) are relatively recent, but the HVAC (2005) is nearly 20 years old and approaching the end of its expected lifespan. The property is move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates and system monitoring to meet modern standards.
