Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this property shows its age with many outdated components. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, the cabinets, countertops, and tile flooring are dated. The bathroom has a newer vanity but retains an older tub/shower combo and dated tile. The living areas have dated tile, and the bedrooms feature worn, dated shag carpet, which would require immediate replacement for most buyers. The exterior has a newer roof, but the backyard includes an unfinished patio cover and needs landscaping. The home is functional and appears maintained, but requires significant cosmetic updates and potential system upgrades to meet current standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9796, living area = 1150.
