About this home
A home with generous sized rooms and enormous potential awaits the sweat equity homeowner who can handle a paintbrush and hammer. Why let a flipper overcharge you and reap all the benefits? Of course you can do this! Let’s look at the upside: Original hardwood floors under carpet? Yes. New (2024) roof? Yes. Section 1 pest clearance? 99% done. Biggest kitchen, dining and living room EVER in a 1599 sq ft home? Absolutely! Close to shopping and fun? You betcha. So, what’s the catch? A well maintained, functional interior from a by-gone era. Thirsty yards and a sunburned sunroom. Your fathers paint inside and out. Priced to reflect the opportunity- Carpe Diem

Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1957, this property features an interior described as 'from a by-gone era,' requiring substantial renovation. The kitchen and bathroom are severely outdated with original-style wood cabinets, old laminate countertops, and dated appliances/fixtures. Flooring consists of worn carpet and old vinyl tiles. While a new roof (2024) and pest clearance are positives, the overall aesthetic and functional components, particularly in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, necessitate extensive rehabilitation to meet modern standards. The listing explicitly targets 'sweat equity homeowners' and is 'priced to reflect the opportunity,' indicating a significant investment is needed beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Sized Rooms: The property features generously sized rooms, including an exceptionally large kitchen, dining, and living room for its 1599 sq ft, offering ample living space.
Renovation Potential: Presents a significant 'sweat equity' opportunity for a homeowner to customize and add value, avoiding flipper markups and allowing for personalized upgrades.
New Roof (2024): A brand new roof installed in 2024 provides peace of mind and eliminates a major potential expense for the new owner.
Original Hardwood Floors: The presence of original hardwood floors under the carpet offers a desirable foundation for future renovation and aesthetic appeal.
Pest Clearance: Nearly complete Section 1 pest clearance addresses a common concern for older homes, reducing immediate repair needs.
Cons
Outdated Interior Finishes: The interior is described as 'from a by-gone era' with 'your father's paint,' indicating a need for significant cosmetic updates and modernization throughout.
Exterior Landscaping & Sunroom Condition: The 'thirsty yards and a sunburned sunroom' suggest the exterior landscaping requires substantial work and the sunroom may need renovation or repair.
Requires Substantial Renovation Investment: The property is explicitly marketed for 'sweat equity homeowners' and 'priced to reflect the opportunity,' implying a considerable investment in time and money will be needed to bring it to modern standards.
