* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957, the home is functional but dated, featuring popcorn ceilings, older carpeting, and a retro-style wet bar. While it has essential system updates like a newer roof and central HVAC, the interior finishes and 1.5-bath layout reflect a renovation age of over 20 years, requiring cosmetic modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7200, living area = 1642.
The floor plan includes a flexible bonus room and a potential 4th bedroom, offering significant utility for home offices, multi-generational living, or hobby spaces.
The property features several high-value updates, including a newer roof, central HVAC, and a new garage door, providing buyers with peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
With only 1.5 bathrooms serving a home that can accommodate up to four bedrooms, the ratio may be insufficient for larger families or high-occupancy households.
While well-maintained, the 1957 construction and 'retro-style' features like the wet bar may require additional cosmetic modernization to align with contemporary design trends.
