Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the property received significant system updates recently—including new HVAC and plumbing in 2023, a new water heater in 2024, and septic work in 2026—the interior remains dated. The kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms appear to have finishes older than 20 years, and the 1952 structure retains original hardwood floors and wood-paneled ceilings that require cosmetic modernization to meet current market standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11895, living area = 1572.
- Extensive Infrastructure Upgrades
The property boasts significant recent mechanical and plumbing updates, including a new HVAC system and ABS waistlines in 2023, a new water heater in 2024, and a rebuilt septic system in 2026, reducing immediate maintenance risks.
- Large Lot and Outdoor Utility
The nearly 12,000 square foot lot provides a spacious environment for families, featuring a large covered patio ideal for entertaining and a dedicated work shed for hobbies or additional storage.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
- Permit Uncertainty
The listing explicitly states that permits are unknown for certain aspects of the home, which could lead to complications during the appraisal process, insurance underwriting, or future renovations.
- Market Stagnation
With over 60 days on the market and a recent price reduction, the property is experiencing slower-than-average absorption, which may indicate that the current price point still faces resistance relative to its 1952 vintage and condition.
