SUMMARY
This Spacious Single Family Residence represents a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $548,000—positioned slightly above the $540,341 Fair Market Value. While priced at market, the property offers significant upside through its 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout and a large 8,712 sq. ft. lot featuring a private swimming pool. With a Condition Rating of 4, the home benefits from a new roof and HVAC system, though it remains an ideal canvas for Value-Add Investors or Owner-Occupants looking to perform cosmetic updates to build long-term equity.
