Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, this home is a well-maintained 'time capsule' that is functional but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathrooms appear to be mostly original or over 30 years old, featuring dated cabinetry and tile. While the roof is newer and the home includes an owned solar system, the interior (carpet over hardwood, wood paneling, and drop ceilings) requires a full cosmetic renovation to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7100, living area = 1191.
The property features a rare oversized detached tandem garage/workshop with a private driveway, offering immense flexibility for RV parking, hobbies, or a home business.
Equipped with an owned solar system and a newer roof, this home provides significant long-term cost savings and reduced maintenance concerns for the next owner.
With finishes dating back decades and carpet covering original floors, the property requires cosmetic modernization to appeal to contemporary buyers.
At 1,191 square feet, the interior footprint is relatively compact for a three-bedroom residence, which may limit functionality for growing families.
