Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1953, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated in key areas. The main house kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a newer-looking island, but the dark speckled granite perimeter countertops, backsplash, and garden window suggest a renovation from 15-25 years ago. The main bathrooms, particularly with mirrored walls and older tile styles, appear to be from an even older renovation (25-40+ years ago). While the guest house appears more recently updated, the overall property is explicitly marketed as a 'renovation opportunity' to 'add value, customize, & create your dream home,' indicating it requires substantial updates to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Roscomare Road Elementary School (9/10).
Exceptional Size & Lot: The property offers an expansive 7,600+ sqft of living space on a flat 25,656 sqft lot, providing significant room for luxurious living and extensive outdoor activities.
Dedicated Guest House: A separate 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom guest house with its own living room, fireplace, and full kitchen adds substantial value for extended family, visitors, or potential rental income.
Renovation & Customization Potential: Explicitly highlighted as an 'Incredible Opportunity to renovate and save,' the property offers immense potential for buyers to customize, modernize, and significantly increase its value.
Luxurious Interior Amenities: The main residence features high-end details such as soaring cathedral ceilings, a striking granite fireplace, a waterfall wet bar, a gourmet kitchen with a large center island, and a primary suite with a spacious dressing area and two walk-in closets.
Resort-Style Outdoor Entertainment: The private, gated backyard is an entertainer's dream, boasting a large grassy area, sparkling pool, spa, soothing water feature, and ample room for a sport's court.

Cons

Age of Property & Implied Updates: Built in 1953, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes may be original or dated, requiring significant investment for modernization.
Requires Substantial Renovation: Marketed as a renovation opportunity, the property is not move-in ready for those seeking contemporary standards and will necessitate considerable time and financial commitment for upgrades.
High Operating & Maintenance Costs: The sheer scale of the main residence, guest house, and extensive grounds (including a pool and spa) will likely result in higher utility bills, property taxes, and ongoing maintenance expenses.
