Built in 1925, this home has received updates, but they appear to be 15-25 years old. The kitchen features dated wooden cabinets and countertops, and the bathroom has older-style tiles. While functional, these areas would benefit from modernization. The presence of window/wall unit cooling instead of central AC is a significant drawback. The property is maintained but shows its age and requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards.

Cons

Unpermitted Garage Conversion: The garage has been converted into an office with 'permits unknown,' which poses potential legal, structural, and insurance risks, requiring buyer due diligence.
