About this home

The home's practical upgrades are just as impressive, including impact-rated windows and doors throughout, gas range, tankless gas water heater, gas pool heater, buried propane tank and a dual-fuel generator hookup. Need room for cars, toys, tools or a workshop? The oversized 4-car tandem garage provides exceptional flexibility and storage rarely found in the area.

Value check

Is the price right?

The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
