Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
While the 5,014 sqft lot provides a beautiful wooded setting, the hillside topography and emphasis on decking mean there is limited flat yard space for traditional lawn activities or gardening.
Despite the modern kitchen renovation, the 1963 construction date suggests that other core systems or structural elements typical of hillside mid-century homes may require ongoing maintenance or future capital improvements.
