More Insights

Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: Built in 1936, this property has a 'time-honored design' and while the kitchen features 'upgraded appliances' and there are 'dual newer AC units,' the overall age suggests that many core systems and finishes are likely older. Without interior images of the kitchen and bathrooms, it's difficult to assess their current style and condition beyond the text. The property appears well-maintained from the exterior, but the age and description point to a home that has been regularly maintained and partially updated, rather than extensively renovated recently, fitting the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but may show signs of being outdated.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3447, other record living area = 2509.
Significant Price Appreciation: The current list price of $2.6M represents a substantial increase from its $1.4M sale in September 2023, which may require clear justification for potential buyers regarding recent improvements or market shifts.
Potential for Older Systems: As a 1936 build, despite some mentioned upgrades, buyers may anticipate potential maintenance or replacement needs for original plumbing, electrical, or structural components not explicitly detailed as updated.
High Maintenance for Extensive Grounds: The large, amenity-rich grounds and thriving orchard, while desirable, will require considerable ongoing maintenance, which could be a deterrent for buyers seeking a lower-maintenance lifestyle.
