Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a four-level split layout like?
This style creates distinct living zones across multiple half-levels, typically separating sleeping areas from living spaces. It offers good privacy and defined areas but involves more stairs than a bungalow or two-story home.
2. How does the 42-year age of the home affect it?
While major systems like roof, windows, or furnace may be due for inspection or updates, the home benefits from a settled lot and mature landscaping. The assessed value reflects this established condition.
3. The lot is large, but how is it oriented and shaped?
The provided data confirms the size but not the layout. It's advisable to check the lot diagram or view the street imagery to understand backyard privacy, sunlight exposure, and usable space.
4. What does "finished basement" include here?
The term confirms it is developed living space, but the specific finish quality, ceiling height, and legal compliance (e.g., proper egress) should be verified through a viewing or inspection.
5. The assessment is $487,000. How should I interpret that?
Municipal assessments are for tax purposes and often lag behind market values. It's a useful benchmark for property taxes but should not be solely relied upon to determine the current market price or offering price.
