Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1968 build that is move-in ready, but it retains several dated features that align with a 'Fair' rating. While the listing highlights a recently updated kitchen and a remodeled main bathroom, the presence of popcorn ceilings, older carpeting, and a basic laundry area indicates that the home has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation. It serves as a functional, aged home with localized updates rather than a fully modernized 'Good' or 'Excellent' condition property.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7849, living area = 1591.
Elementary School: Franklin Elementary School (9/10).
The property backs to a quiet open space with walking paths and natural vegetation, providing a serene and private outdoor setting that is highly desirable in a 55+ community.
