Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
At just 936 square feet for a three-bedroom layout with only one bathroom, the interior may feel undersized and lack the functional flexibility required by growing families.
The assigned local public schools carry very low ratings (mostly 1s and 2s), which can be a deterrent for families and may limit the property's long-term appreciation potential.
