Built in 1924, this home is well-maintained but dated. While it features fresh paint and a bathroom 'refresh' (new shower insert/reglazed tub), the core systems, kitchen, and bathroom fixtures are aged. The exterior image shows a roof with significant wear/curling shingles, and the basement reveals older mechanical systems, placing it in the 'Fair' category requiring updates and minor repairs.
Built in 1924, this home preserves its original character with timeless hardwood floors while offering immediate move-in appeal through fresh interior and exterior paint and a refreshed bathroom.
The property features a generous backyard and a long driveway, providing ample space for outdoor entertaining or the potential to increase value through a home addition or ADU.
Large windows flood the 1,059 square foot interior with natural light, complementing a well-organized floor plan that includes a formal dining room with built-in cabinetry.

The local public schools assigned to this address currently hold lower ratings, ranging from 2 to 4, which may be a concern for education-focused buyers and impact long-term appreciation.
