Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1971, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated styling in key areas. The kitchen features original or very old wood cabinets, tile countertops, and dated appliances (white refrigerator, built-in oven/microwave combo). Bathrooms have older vanities and dated light fixtures (Hollywood strip lighting). While the A/C and pool pump are newer, the overall aesthetic and functional components of the kitchen and bathrooms require substantial updates to meet current standards. The property is functional and livable but not move-in ready for a buyer seeking modern finishes.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Private Swimming Pool: The property features a private pool, offering recreational value and a desirable amenity, especially for summer enjoyment in the Lancaster climate.
Versatile Permitted Sun Room: A fully permitted sun room provides flexible additional living space, suitable for family gatherings, a home office for remote workers, or convenient access to the pool area.
Desirable Neighborhood & Proximity to Amenities: Located in the 'lovely College Terrace neighborhood,' the home boasts excellent proximity to essential amenities including schools, medical facilities, and shopping.
Recent System Upgrades: Key components such as the A/C unit and pool pump are noted as 'newer,' indicating reduced immediate maintenance concerns and costs for these significant systems.
Charming Curb Appeal & Functional Layout: The property presents a charming and welcoming curb appeal, complemented by a practical interior layout including 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, an indoor laundry room, and a mudroom.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1971, the home is over 50 years old, which may suggest that other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) or interior finishes could be original or require updating in the near future.
Lack of Specific View: The property description explicitly states 'view:None', indicating it does not offer any particular scenic or desirable views, which could be a drawback for some buyers.
Potential for Dated Interiors: Despite some newer systems, the overall age of the home (1971) implies that interior aesthetics and finishes might be dated and could require renovation to align with modern buyer preferences.
