Bathrooms, including a 'spa-inspired ensuite,' show modern renovations with new tiling, fixtures, and glass enclosures. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout.

Exceptional Outdoor Living: Set on a generous 9,271 square foot lot, the private backyard is designed for entertaining with a large patio, manicured lawn, mature trees, and privacy hedging.

Cons

Age-Related Maintenance: As a 1937 build, despite updates, potential buyers may face future maintenance or upgrade costs for original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) not explicitly stated as fully replaced.
No Mention of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not specify a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months, especially for a home of this size.
Standard Views: While offering pleasant 'Neighborhood, Trees/Woods' views, the property lacks more premium panoramic or water views that some buyers in this price range might expect.
