Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, the home is dated with a kitchen and bathrooms featuring finishes (knotty pine cabinetry and vintage tile) that appear to be over 30 years old. While the addition of recent laminate flooring and a functional layout makes it move-in ready, the HVAC system is 22 years old (installed in 2002), nearing the end of its life expectancy. The property requires modernization of major systems and cosmetic updates to meet current standards.
Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
The home features desirable mid-century architectural elements, including beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, complemented by large skylights that provide abundant natural light throughout the interior.
Boasting 1,703 sq. ft. of living space, the layout includes a large family room and a smart configuration where the main bedrooms are situated at opposite ends of the hallway for enhanced privacy.
There is a significant discrepancy between public records (2 bed/2 bath) and the actual home configuration (3 bed/1.5 bath), which could present challenges during the appraisal or financing process.
The Central Air and Heating system was installed in 2002; at over 20 years old, it may be nearing the end of its typical functional lifespan and require near-term maintenance or replacement.
