More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1952, has undergone significant and recent cosmetic renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear virtually new with modern finishes, appliances, and fixtures. The flooring throughout is updated, and the interior has been freshly painted. The garage was converted in 2018 (6 years ago) into a functional living space, and the exterior boasts recent upgrades like new fencing, driveway, and landscaping. While the visible elements are in excellent, move-in ready condition, the listing does not explicitly mention updates to major systems such as plumbing, electrical, or a new roof for the main house, which were present in some comparable properties. Crucially, there is no mention of a central HVAC system, which is a key modern amenity. Given the age of the original structure and the lack of explicit confirmation on all major system overhauls, it falls into the 'Good' category rather than 'Excellent', as it's extensively renovated in key areas but may not have undergone a full, comprehensive system-wide renovation within the last 5 years.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: The property is situated in the 'highly desired Bodger Park' neighborhood, offering a prime location with good community appeal.
Extensive Exterior Upgrades: Recent significant exterior improvements include new vinyl fencing, a new front yard walkway, new floor lighting with driveway expansion, a new 4-car driveway, and updated front/back landscaping, enhancing curb appeal and functionality.
Versatile Garage Conversion: The garage was converted in 2018 into a 'man cave / game room' with a rear door opening to the backyard, providing flexible additional living and entertainment space.
Corner Lot Advantage: Being a corner lot (6160 sqft) typically offers more privacy, natural light, and potentially greater outdoor space compared to interior lots.
Recent Price Adjustment: A 'Price Improvement' from the original list price indicates a more competitive and potentially attractive offering for prospective buyers.
Cons
Absence of Central HVAC System: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning or heating system for the main house, which is a common amenity in comparable updated homes and could be a significant comfort factor for buyers.
Limited Information on Core System Upgrades: While cosmetic and exterior improvements are noted, there's no explicit mention of major system updates such as a new roof, updated windows, or comprehensive plumbing/electrical overhauls for the main house, which were features in several recently sold comparables.
Older Construction Year: Built in 1952, the property is over 70 years old. Despite recent cosmetic and exterior upgrades, older homes can present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require more extensive renovations to meet modern standards, especially concerning foundational systems not explicitly mentioned as updated.
