Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Despite the aesthetic updates, a home built in 1911 may require ongoing maintenance or future upgrades to underlying systems like plumbing and electrical that are typical of historic properties.
