Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home is move-in ready and features significant upgrades like solar power and newer windows, the kitchen and bathrooms are described as 'original' and 'vintage.' Built in 1939, these core areas are over 80 years old; despite being lovingly maintained, they are dated and will eventually require modernization of the original tilework and antique systems.
This 1939 vintage cottage-style home has been lovingly maintained, featuring original craftsmanship, classic tilework, a wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light that offers rare, timeless appeal.
The property features an oversized backyard sanctuary with mature trees, providing excellent privacy and endless possibilities to expand the home, add a pool, or design a custom outdoor living space.
Equipped with modern solar power and newer replacement windows, the home offers reduced utility costs and improved energy efficiency while preserving its historic charm.
The home features only one bathroom, which may limit convenience for families, multi-occupant households, or when entertaining guests.
With 1,199 square feet of living space, the property is relatively small, which may feel restrictive for buyers seeking a more spacious or modern open-concept layout without undertaking expansions.
