Built in 1958, this home is exceptionally well-maintained but remains largely in a dated state.

While the property is functional and move-in ready, the age of the wet areas and likely the underlying systems (HVAC/Electric) necessitates updates to meet modern standards.

With over 3,300 square feet of living space on a single level, this home offers a rare and highly functional floor plan that is ideal for multi-generational living and accessibility.
