Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1979, this property is 45 years old. While seemingly well-maintained, the interior is significantly outdated. The kitchen features original or very old dark wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and notably, carpet flooring, which is highly undesirable. Bathrooms also present dated vanities and fixtures. The pervasive orange shag carpet throughout the living areas and bedrooms, along with the light fixtures, are characteristic of the 1970s/80s. The home is functional but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern standards and appeal, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unique Reverse Floorplan: The desirable reverse floorplan positions the main living area upstairs, creating a distinctive 'treehouse' ambiance and maximizing views.
Flexible Loft Space: A large, versatile loft provides additional functional space, ideal for a home office, guest room, or recreational area, including a pool table.
Abundant Natural Light: Extensive windows throughout the home ensure bright, airy interiors, enhancing the overall living experience and connection to nature.
Serene Natural Setting: Nestled among trees and surrounded by nature, the property offers a tranquil and private environment with a 'Trees/Woods' view.
Spacious Living Area: At 1,832 square feet for a 2-bedroom home, it offers generous living space, providing comfort and room to spread out.
Cons
Age and Potential for Updates: Built in 1979, the property may require investment in updating systems or finishes to align with contemporary buyer expectations, as no recent major renovations are specified.
Pricing Discrepancy: The current list price is 14% higher than the property's estimated market value, which could impact buyer interest and negotiation leverage.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property's appeal may be restricted to smaller households or those not requiring multiple private sleeping quarters.
