CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =17824, other record lot size in square feet = 11507. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1200, other record living area = 580. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 1.
- Compact Living Quarters
With only 1,200 total square feet distributed across five bedrooms and two units, the individual rooms and living areas are likely very small and may feel cramped for larger families.
- Historic Sloped Site
The 1925 construction on a sloped parcel near Alpine Creek may present ongoing maintenance challenges related to drainage, foundation stability, and moisture management typical of older creekside properties.
About 5 Pope Road
Two redwood cottages on a near half acre in sunny La Honda! One is a 3 bedroom/1 bathroom and has all the bohemian charm of Carole King's Tapestry album cover. The other 2 bedroom/1 bathroom has a more contemporary vibe. Gently sloped parcel with steps to Alpine Creek. Lots of nice updates in recent years: 200 amp panel, redwood decks and fencing, hickory cabinets, granite counter tops, cedar closets, and mini-split. Great spot for owner/investor, multi-generational housing. No HOA!! 20 minute drive to 280 and Sand Hill Rd. 10 minute drive to the beach. Down the street from the heralded La Honda Elementary School. Come live the dream in gorgeous La Honda!
