218 West Selden Street

This Colonial offers substantial interior space across three levels and appears well-suited for a buyer seeking room count and renovation upside. The listing language emphasizes “potential,” “update,” and “renovate,” so condition and improvement costs should be carefully evaluated. The layout provides flexibility, especially with two additional bedrooms on the third floor, but the home has limited bathroom count for five bedrooms. Buyers should also verify key listing details, including the lot size data, which appears inconsistent.

PROS
- Spacious 2,320 square feet of living area across three levels
- Five-bedroom layout offers flexibility for households, guests, or work-from-home use
- Traditional Colonial character with foyer, formal dining room, bay windows, and enclosed front porch
- Rear patio area described as usable for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or relaxation
- Located near neighborhood amenities and transportation options per the listing

CONS
- Described as needing updates/renovation, so buyers should budget for repairs and modernization
- Only 1 full bath and 1 half bath for 5 bedrooms may be limiting
- No garage spaces listed
- Built in 1900, so older-home systems, structure, and maintenance history should be inspected closely
- Lot size data is inconsistent: the listing shows “4755.0” acres in one field but describes an approximately 4,755-square-foot lot elsewhere
