Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1952, this property has been well-maintained and features charming architectural elements like soaring open-beam ceilings. The kitchen has been updated with white shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, which appear to be in good condition. However, the style of the granite and some light fixtures suggest these updates are likely 10-15+ years old, rather than recent. The visible bathroom (powder room) is clean and functional but basic, not reflecting a recent high-end renovation. Flooring is a mix of tile in main areas and carpet in bedrooms, both appearing well-kept. While move-in ready, the home's overall aesthetic and the age of its updates align with the 'Fair' category, indicating it's aged but maintained, with functional components that show signs of being outdated in style rather than condition.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1952, the home may require significant updates to its systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or aesthetics to meet modern buyer expectations, implying potential future investment.
Unspecified Modern Renovations: The description highlights original charm but does not detail any recent modern renovations to key areas like the kitchen or bathrooms, which could be a drawback for some buyers seeking move-in ready contemporary finishes.
High Yard Maintenance Potential: While the large, nearly half-acre lot is a strength for entertaining, it could also imply substantial ongoing landscaping and maintenance efforts or costs for a homeowner.
