The description highlights a new roof (October 2023), new exterior paint, and drought-tolerant landscaping.

Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =8231, other record lot size in square feet = 8176.
- Inconsistent Laundry Facilities
Only the front duplex units offer in-unit laundry; the back units lack hookups and there is no common laundry facility, potentially limiting tenant appeal for those units and requiring future investment.
