Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2327, other record living area = 1933. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
At 4,000 square feet, the lot is relatively compact for the Upper Rockridge area, and the terraced topography may limit flat, usable yard space for traditional recreation.
With only two bathrooms serving over 2,300 square feet of living space, the home may feel underserved for modern luxury standards or larger families.
