Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1417, other record living area = 1357.
At 1,417 square feet for a three-bedroom home, the living areas and guest bedrooms may feel somewhat small for buyers seeking more expansive indoor space.
While the backyard is highly functional with decks and garden beds, the extensive hardscaping and outbuildings leave very little traditional green space for pets or play.
