Low-Maintenance Outdoor Space: Includes a flat, low-maintenance backyard perfect for outdoor dining, gardening, or pets, adding valuable private outdoor living space.
Cons
Historic Foundation (Year Built): While extensively updated, the home's original construction dates back to 1900, which may present unique challenges or considerations associated with older properties, despite modern system upgrades.
Limited Lot Size: The property features a relatively compact lot size of 2809 sqft, which may offer less outdoor space compared to some other single-family homes, potentially limiting extensive landscaping or future expansion possibilities.
Sub-Type Ambiguity: The property is described as a 'single-family home' but listed with a 'Townhouse' sub_type. This discrepancy could lead to confusion regarding shared walls, property lines, or potential HOA fees not detailed in the description, requiring further clarification.
