Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1937, the property is in a livable and maintained condition but shows significant signs of age. While there are some cosmetic updates like newer laminate flooring, the infrastructure remains dated, featuring wall-mounted heaters and window AC units instead of a modern central HVAC system. The kitchen and dining areas feature older cabinetry and basic tile work, and the overall aesthetic reflects a home that has had occasional upkeep rather than a comprehensive modern renovation.
The property's R3 zoning on an expansive lot provides a significant opportunity for investors to build additional units and maximize the land's value.
With two living areas and a separate office featuring its own private patio, the home offers a flexible floor plan suitable for remote work or multi-generational living.
The sellers are highly motivated and open to covering buyer closing costs, making this an accessible entry point for first-time homeowners or budget-conscious investors.
Built in 1937, the property may require substantial maintenance or upgrades to its aging systems to meet modern efficiency and safety standards.
