Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1950, is in a well-maintained but largely outdated condition. While it features some recent functional improvements such as a newer electrical panel, 2024 solar panels, and updated laminate flooring in the main living areas, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated with mid-century cabinetry, older tile countertops, and a mix of aged appliances. The home is move-in ready but requires cosmetic modernization to meet current standards, fitting the 'fair' criteria for an aged home with occasional updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12746, living area = 1649.
Elementary School: Kester Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
The property features a permitted 1,252 sq. ft. detached building currently utilized as a professional filming studio and soundproof room, offering rare utility for content creators, musicians, or home-based businesses.
The solar panels are leased rather than owned, which requires the buyer to assume an ongoing contract and may be a deterrent for those seeking a debt-free utility setup.
Several of the nearby public schools, particularly at the middle school level, have lower performance ratings, which may impact the property's long-term appreciation and appeal to families.
