Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this 70+ year old property is marketed for its 'sweat-equity potential.' While it features some recent system updates like a new septic and water tank, the interior (bathroom) is significantly dated, and the second bedroom is an unpermitted patio enclosure, indicating a need for substantial rehab and modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 950.
The property features a massive 5-acre lot, providing exceptional privacy, panoramic mountain views, and significant potential for adding ADUs or additional structures.
Essential utility upgrades, including a newly installed septic system and water tank, along with newer windows, reduce immediate capital expenditure for the buyer.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 950, other record living area = 738. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
The second bedroom consists of an unpermitted enclosed patio, which may complicate traditional financing appraisals and official square footage valuations.
Offered in 'as-is' condition, the 1952 structure requires cosmetic updates and sweat equity to modernize the interior and maximize its market value.
