Generous Lot & Outdoor Oasis: A substantial 10,125 sq ft lot features a private backyard oasis with a sparkling pool (new heater) and mature landscaping, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.
Renovated Kitchen & Flexible Layout: Boasts a newly renovated kitchen, two spacious living rooms, a large primary suite with dual closets, and a flexible three-level layout including a convenient main-floor bedroom.

Cons

Multi-Level Layout: The three-level living space, while offering flexibility, may not appeal to buyers preferring single-story homes or those with mobility challenges due to stairs.
Potential for Older Systems: Built in 1965, despite a newly renovated kitchen and pool heater, other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, windows, additional bathrooms) may be original or older, potentially requiring future investment.
High Maintenance Yard: The generous 10,125 sq ft lot with a pool and mature landscaping, while a significant asset, will require substantial ongoing time and financial commitment for maintenance.
