Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2660, other record living area = 2297. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
While the property features a new wrap-around deck, the footprint of the main house and ADU on a 6,602 sqft lot leaves minimal traditional yard space for buyers prioritizing a large lawn or a pool.
Being located in an HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone) means any future exterior modifications are subject to strict architectural guidelines and city approvals, which may limit a buyer's customization options.
