Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1953 home featuring brand-new laminate wood flooring (2024) and a recently paved driveway. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring original-style tile countertops, vintage cabinetry, and older appliances. While the home is functional and move-in ready, the overall style and major fixtures have not been modernized in several decades, fitting the criteria for a fair condition score.
Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
This timeless 1953 home features desirable architectural details including beamed ceilings, a rustic brick-framed fireplace, and large skylights that flood the living areas with natural light.
The property offers 1,703 sq. ft. of improved living space, highlighted by brand-new laminated wood flooring installed in February 2024, providing a fresh and modern feel throughout.
The property layout (3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths) differs from public records (2 bedrooms and 2 baths), which may present challenges during the appraisal or financing process.
The laundry facilities are located in the garage rather than inside the main living area, and the half-bath is situated in a utility room, which may be less convenient for some buyers.
