Listed by Long and FosterIt is difficult not to like the Willerburn Acres community. The homes are well kept on tidy quarter acre and larger lots. There are wonderful schools and a great sense of community.
This home is very pretty on the exterior with very nice curb appeal. The salt box style and brick exterior are a handsome combination. The foyer is formal with a nice resilient tile floor. The living room and dining room are good size. You have to try to look beyond the carpet that is currently in place. The colors went out of fashion years ago, but I am sure it has well protected the hardwood underneath.
The kitchen has been upgraded in the past. Someone did a nice job painting the cabinets. They have the look of a contemporary glazed cabinet and fit in well with the Formica counters. The appliances are good quality but could be upgraded with the kitchen by the new owners.
The upstairs has a decent sized master with attached sitting room. The other bedrooms are all good size. This was considered a big house when it was built in 1968. It holds up well even in 2009. The bathrooms have had the cabinets painted and have nice Toto toilets. Although there have been some cosmetic improvements in the baths and kitchen it is almost time to re-do.
The basement is unfinished with lots of space for expansion. If someone needed more room for a home theatre or wine cellar, there is plenty of space to build.
The yard is lovely and well maintained. The exterior landscape is trim and tidy, and there are some lovely gutter guards on the roof. It is obvious that the current owners care for this home.
In a go-go market this home would have a chance to get over 800K. Although this home has good bones, it needs some help. The dated carpet does not show well, and painting cabinets does not count as a renovation. I think the home will need to be reduced to under 800K to get some attention and showing and will settle in the neighborhood of $750K when all is said and done.

This house did sell for the low 800s and I was really surprised. When I viewed the house it was really hard to get past the purple carpet & the water damage on some of the walls
