Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent leases and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Ask Moe if this price is fairOn location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Elderwood Dr is about a 2-minute walk away.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
- Heated floors: comfort and a premium-finish signal.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
