PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Turnkey Modern Upgrades

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Compact Lot Size
At approximately 4,500 square feet, the lot is relatively small for a 2,500+ square foot home, which may limit outdoor recreational space or expansion possibilities.
- 1980s Era Construction
While extensively updated, the 1984 build date suggests that some core structural elements or the original floor plan layout may not fully align with the ultra-open concepts found in newer luxury constructions.
