Condition Rating
Fair

While the property boasts recent updates to the roof (5 years) and plumbing (11 years), and a newly renovated pool, the interior, particularly the 'remodeled' kitchen and bathrooms, appears to have been updated 15-30 years ago. The kitchen features white appliances (except for a newer stainless steel refrigerator), dated tile flooring, and traditional cabinet styles. Bathrooms also show older fixtures and tile work. Many interior finishes, such as wallpaper and carpets, are visibly dated. The home is well-maintained and functional, but requires minor updates to bring its aesthetic and some components up to current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Significant Recent System Upgrades: Key structural and functional components have been recently updated, including an approximately 5-year-new roof with cement shingles, a full copper plumbing upgrade approximately 11 years ago, and a remodeled kitchen with an island.

Cons

Age of Home & Potential for Further Updates: Built in 1942, while some major systems have been updated, an 80+ year old home may still present potential for other deferred maintenance or outdated components not explicitly mentioned, such as HVAC or electrical systems.
Hilltop Access & Maintenance Demands: Its hilltop location, accessed by a gated driveway, might be less convenient for some buyers due to potential steepness or winding paths. The extensive lot and landscaping also imply significant ongoing maintenance time and cost.
Specific Interior Aesthetic: Interior features like stained glass windows and a crystal chandelier, while charming, suggest a traditional aesthetic that may not align with all modern buyer preferences, potentially necessitating further interior renovations to update the style.
