Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1951, this property is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards. While some areas feature updated wood-look flooring and fresh paint, the kitchen and bathroom are dated with older cabinetry and basic appliances. The family room remains in a vintage state with wood paneling and older carpeting, aligning with the 'fair' criteria for a home that has been maintained but not fully renovated in recent decades.
The property features a large attached screened porch and dedicated RV parking on a concrete slab, offering exceptional utility and extra space for hobbies, storage, or entertaining.
Rare for a home of this size, the floor plan includes both a family room and a separate living room, providing significant flexibility for everyday living and guest hosting.
Situated on a corner lot, the home benefits from enhanced curb appeal, increased privacy, and better accessibility to the backyard and parking facilities.
With only one bathroom serving the residence, the property may present functional challenges for families and could impact long-term resale value compared to multi-bath homes.
As a 1951 vintage home described as needing a personal touch, buyers should budget for potential updates to older systems and cosmetic finishes to meet modern standards.
