* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1959, the property has undergone a comprehensive recent renovation (likely within the last 5 years based on the 2020 sale and current 2026 listing date). The interior features modern flooring, stylishly updated bathrooms, and a refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Key systems and exterior features are also upgraded, including dual-pane windows, solar panels, a composite deck, and a newer HVAC condenser, placing it in mint, move-in-ready condition.
The expansive 6,384 sqft lot provides significant versatility, including the potential for a detached ADU or SB 9 development, offering excellent long-term value appreciation.
Ideally situated within walking distance to highly-rated schools like Branham High and minutes from major commute routes (Hwy 85, 87, 17) and Westfield Oakridge Mall.
The home is move-in ready with modern updates including stylish bathrooms, contemporary flooring, and dual-pane windows, reducing immediate post-purchase renovation costs.
At 1,071 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the living spaces are relatively compact, which may feel restrictive for growing families or those desiring larger common areas.
Built in 1959, the property may have underlying aging systems typical of its era that could require future maintenance or upgrades despite the recent cosmetic improvements.
Perfectly situated just off the corner of Strafford, this move-in-ready home offers exceptional curb appeal and bright, sun-filled living spaces designed for comfortable everyday living. The thoughtfully updated interior features modern flooring, stylish bathrooms, dual-pane windows, and a functional layout that blends comfort with convenience. The expansive, private backyard is the true showstopper, offering endless possibilities to create your dream outdoor retreat, expand the home, build a detached ADU, or explore SB 9 development potential (buyer to verify). Ideally located just minutes from Butcher Park, highly rated schools, Westfield Oakridge Mall, shopping, dining, and major commute routes including Highways 85, 87, and 17, this property delivers the perfect combination of lifestyle, location, and future potential.
