Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this historic home is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features older tile countertops and cabinetry (likely 20+ years old), and the interior shows aged elements such as drop ceilings and louvered windows. While the property benefits from a new roof and owned solar, the overall interior condition and finishes require modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10800, living area = 2624.
Known as the 'Thurlow House' and protected under the Mills Act, this historic landmark offers unique architectural character and significant property tax savings.
The home features a versatile floor plan with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and living spaces on each level, including separate entries and dual kitchen areas.
For a four-bedroom residence, the detached one-car garage is undersized for modern multi-vehicle households, though it offers ADU potential.
The local public schools assigned to this address carry modest ratings, ranging from 3 to 5, which may be a drawback for education-centric buyers.
