Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this home’s value compare to recent sales?

2. Is the lot size a pro or a con?
At just over 6,000 sq ft, the lot is around average for the neighborhood and slightly smaller than the average on Pleasant Bay itself. It provides a good-sized yard but is not an exceptionally large parcel. The trade-off is the home itself, which has a much larger-than-average living area.

4. The home was built in 1966. What should I consider?
While newer than many on its street, a home from this era may have original components or updates that need evaluation. Its "newer" status here is relative to a neighborhood with many homes built in the 1950s and early 1960s.
