Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1963 Mid-Century Modern home is exceptionally well-maintained but remains a 'time capsule' with many original features. While the kitchen has received some cosmetic updates such as a mosaic tile backsplash and stone countertops, the cabinetry and black appliances are dated. The bathrooms retain original 1960s pink tiling and fixtures. Although move-in ready and charming, the property lacks a comprehensive modern renovation of its major systems and interior finishes to meet 'good' or 'excellent' criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14375, living area = 2156.
