More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1955, has undergone significant renovations and upgrades. The kitchen was renovated in 2010 with modern custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, which, at 14 years old, falls within the 'Good' category's 5-15 year renovation timeframe. The bathrooms also appear updated with modern vanities and tiled showers. Major systems like the dual-zone HVAC are relatively new (5-7 years old), and the addition of paid-off solar panels and a whole-house water filtration system further enhance its condition and efficiency. The flooring (hardwood, tile, carpet) and lighting fixtures are all in good, well-maintained condition, making the home move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1955, while expanded and renovated, the underlying structure is older, which may imply potential for original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that might not be fully updated.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property description explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas or unique outdoor perspectives.
Lot Size Relative to Living Space: With over 2,800 square feet of living space on a 6,540 square foot lot, the backyard area might be more modest than some buyers expect for a home of this size, potentially limiting extensive outdoor amenities.
