Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-10-17. The sold price is $2,200,000.00.
Limited Developed Outdoor Amenities: While the lot is sizable and offers natural views, the description does not detail extensive landscaped gardens or recreational outdoor features beyond a deck, which some buyers might expect from a 0.5-acre property.
Basement Space Requires Customization: The 'huge basement space' is designated for studio, workshop, or storage, implying it may not be fully finished living space and could require additional investment for specific residential conversions.
Classic Aesthetic Preference: Despite modern updates, the home retains its 1925 Craftsman charm, which might not align with buyers seeking a purely contemporary or minimalist architectural style.
