Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, the property features recent cosmetic updates including new paint, carpet, and modern bathroom tiling. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with older wood cabinetry and laminate-style countertops likely exceeding 20 years in age. While functional and move-in ready, the age of the primary systems and the unrefined finish of the large flex space justify a 'Fair' rating.
The sprawling bonus room offers significant versatility for a home office, gym, or potential conversion into an ADU, providing excellent value-add opportunities for the buyer.
With new interior paint, new flooring and carpet throughout, and updated bathrooms, the home presents a fresh, modern aesthetic that allows for immediate occupancy.
The newer detached garage and separate parking pad with alley access provide rare utility for RV parking, a workshop, or extensive storage, which is highly sought after in this area.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1627, other record living area = 1150.
Despite the generous 1,627 square footage, the home only features two bedrooms, which may restrict its appeal to smaller households or niche buyers.
