PROS
- Single-family ownership with a fenced yard and backyard space for relaxing, entertaining, or gardening
- New roof installed in 2024, according to the listing
- Central air and annually serviced systems are noted
- Bonus space upstairs could work well as a home office or den
- Unfinished basement provides laundry area and additional storage
CONS
- Interior living area is modest at 775 square feet
- No garage spaces are listed, and parking details are not provided
- Only one full bathroom
- Built in 1910, so buyers should evaluate age-related maintenance and condition during inspection
- Lot-size data appears inconsistent: the listing describes a 2,500 SF lot, while the acreage field shows 2,500.0 acres, which should be verified
