Property is move-in ready.
The property is in move-in ready condition with significant capital improvements, including a roof, HVAC, and windows updated approximately 5 years ago. The interior features a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms with modern vanities, and fresh paint throughout. While the home is well-maintained and features owned solar, the kitchen cabinetry style and the unfinished 'blank canvas' backyard align more closely with the 'good' category than a full recent top-to-bottom modern renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13600, living area = 1794.
The property features significant capital improvements completed approximately five years ago, including a new roof, HVAC system, windows, and gutters, offering buyers long-term peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
The inclusion of fully owned solar panels provides a substantial financial advantage by significantly reducing monthly utility expenses without the burden of a lease transfer.
While the backyard is large, the description suggests it is a 'blank canvas,' implying that buyers will likely need to invest additional time and capital to landscape and fully realize the outdoor living space.
Built in 1971, the home may still possess some original structural elements or utility components that lack the modern efficiency or architectural style found in newer constructions.
