Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
With only 1,171 square feet and two bedrooms, the home's footprint may be restrictive for larger families or buyers requiring multiple dedicated workspaces.
