PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Century-Old Infrastructure
Originally built in 1913, the property may require specialized maintenance or costly upgrades to aging systems typical of historic structures, despite recent cosmetic updates.

With two detached dwellings and a two-car garage situated on a 4,761-square-foot lot, the remaining yard space is relatively compact, which may limit appeal for buyers prioritizing expansive private grounds.
