Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
Extensive Landscape Maintenance: The nearly one-acre forested lot with winding paths and creek frontage, while beautiful, will require significant ongoing maintenance and management, including potential fire abatement in a wooded area.
