Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
While refreshed, some finishes like the granite tile countertops reflect the home's 1985 origins and may not appeal to buyers seeking high-end, modern slab surfaces.
The property has seen rapid price increases through multiple sales in late 2024, which could present challenges during the appraisal process at the current list price.
