Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1958, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen is severely outdated with original-era cabinets, old tile flooring, and a dated fluorescent light fixture, demanding a full renovation. Bathrooms also appear basic and outdated. A bedroom with exposed subfloor indicates significant unfinished work or deferred maintenance. While the description mentions a 'solid foundation,' the extensive cosmetic and interior finish needs make the property uncomfortable and require significant investment to be move-in ready.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Living Space: Boasts over 3,000 sqft with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing ample room for a family or multi-generational living.
Dedicated Entertainment Space: Features a thoughtfully designed home addition with a large living room, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a built-in bar, ideal for entertaining guests.
Private Primary Suite: Includes an upstairs private primary suite with a full bathroom, offering a secluded and comfortable retreat.
Customization & Value-Add Potential: Presents a solid foundation and excellent potential for buyers (including FHA & VA 203(k)) and investors to customize and add personal touches, increasing future value.
Functional Layout & Amenities: Offers a spacious layout with practical features like a family room with a fireplace, a dedicated dining area, and an indoor laundry room.
Cons
Requires Significant Cosmetic Updates & Repairs: The property explicitly states a need for 'cosmetic updates and repairs,' indicating immediate investment will be necessary to modernize and enhance its appeal.
Age of Construction: Built in 1958, the home is over 60 years old, which may suggest outdated systems, potential for deferred maintenance, and less energy efficiency compared to newer builds.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price is 26% higher than the estimated property value, which could make it challenging to justify the price to potential buyers without significant market justification or further improvements.
