AI comment

This renovated single-family home offers a practical multi-level layout with flexible spaces for work, recreation, and everyday living. The bedroom placement provides separation, with two bedrooms on one level and a primary suite above. Outdoor deck and patio space add meaningful usability in an urban setting. Buyers should still verify renovation scope, permitting, and the reported lot information before relying on the listing details.

PROS

- Finished lower-level space should be reviewed for ceiling height, egress, moisture control, and permitted use.

- No open house information is provided in the supplied data.
