Property Overview

Built in 1952, it offers 1,054 sqft of living space on a generous 5,148 sqft lot, with a current assessed value of $314,000. The appeal of this property lies in its established context. It's not an outlier but a well-positioned home within its community, offering space and value that consistently ranks above average for the immediate area. It suits practical buyers looking for a home with room to breathe, whether that's for gardening, children playing, or future expansion, without venturing into premium-priced city districts.

This suggests you're investing in a home that is considered a stronger asset within its own local market—a sign of a stable, valued street. It's a property for someone who values community standing and practical space over a brand-new build or a downtown location.

- Buyers who see potential in a 1950s home, appreciating the character and the possibility of thoughtful updates over time.
