Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1959, features an 'updated kitchen' with light wood cabinets, Corian countertops, and white appliances, which appears to be from an older renovation (likely 15-25 years ago) rather than a recent one. Flooring consists of dated tile in main living areas and worn, stained carpets in bedrooms, with some rooms showing unfinished concrete floors. While functional systems like central air/heat are present, the overall aesthetic is outdated, and the listing explicitly states the home 'needs some T.L.C and updating.' This indicates it requires significant cosmetic updates and repairs to bring it to modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated on a very quiet street with excellent walkability to highly-rated schools, including Madison Avenue Elementary (5-star), Montgomery Middle (4-star), and Granite Hills High (6-star).
Updated Kitchen: Features an updated kitchen, providing a more modern and functional space for cooking and entertaining.
Comprehensive Climate Control: Equipped with central air and heat, plus an additional split unit in the living room, ensuring comfort throughout the home.
Functional Layout & Garage: Offers a desirable single-story layout with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, complemented by an attached 2-car garage.
Outdoor Living & Natural Light: Includes a fenced yard with a covered patio for private outdoor enjoyment, and solar tube skylights for enhanced natural illumination indoors.
Cons
Requires Updating & TLC: The property explicitly states it 'needs some T.L.C and updating,' indicating potential deferred maintenance or outdated aesthetics beyond the kitchen.
Dated Kitchen Finishes: While updated, the kitchen features 'all white appliances' and 'Corian countertops,' which may be perceived as less modern or desirable by some buyers compared to stainless steel and stone alternatives.
Age of Property: Built in 1959, the home may have original systems or components that could require future maintenance or replacement, despite some recent updates.
