More Insights

Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, the property shows its age with dated features such as light oak cabinets and tile countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, popcorn ceilings, and older light fixtures. While the kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances and the property appears well-maintained, the overall aesthetic and lack of central air conditioning (as noted in the weaknesses) indicate that significant cosmetic updates would be required to meet current standards. It is functional and livable but clearly outdated.

Potential for Interior Modernization: While custom-built, the emphasis on 'custom characteristics' and 'Oak' hutch might suggest an interior aesthetic that could be considered dated by some buyers, potentially requiring modernization to align with contemporary tastes.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning Mention: The description highlights fireplaces for 'chilly evenings' but makes no mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during hot Lancaster summers.
