Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1281, other record living area = 1248.
At 1,281 square feet for a three-bedroom layout, the interior living areas may feel somewhat confined for families or buyers accustomed to more expansive floor plans at this price point.
While the lot is well-maintained, a significant portion of the outdoor area is occupied by the widened driveway and new cement rear drive, which may reduce the available green space for gardening or traditional backyard play.
