The main house, built in 1965, shows signs of regular maintenance but lacks comprehensive modern updates. While some kitchen appliances are newer stainless steel, the main kitchen features dated white tile countertops and traditional white cabinets. All bathrooms across the main house, cottage, and studio apartment are significantly outdated with older vanities, tile countertops, and tile surrounds. Flooring is a mix of well-maintained hardwood in living areas and older, textured carpets in bedrooms. The property is functional but requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchens and bathrooms, to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. The presence of a historic 'Summer Kitchen' and very dated rental units (cottage and studio) further emphasizes the property's age and the need for modernization in key areas.

Cons
