More Insights
Built in 1959 (66 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, the property's interior is explicitly described as being in 'rustic and original condition,' which is evident in the dated kitchen (not pictured but implied), the very old bathroom with a wooden toilet seat and mixed wall finishes, shaggy carpets, and dated drop ceilings. While the exterior benefits from a new roof and paint, the interior requires substantial rehabilitation, including a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, flooring replacement, and likely significant upgrades to core systems like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to meet modern standards and comfort.

Expansive Lot Size: Situated on a fenced 2.5-acre lot (108,900 sqft), providing significant space, privacy, and potential for expansion or outdoor amenities.

Cons
Original Interior Condition: The description highlights 'rustic and original condition,' implying that interior finishes, fixtures, and potentially some systems may be dated and require significant renovation to meet modern standards.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom home, this could be a functional limitation for multiple occupants, families, or guests.
