The unique tri-level floor plan provides plenty of room to spread out, featuring an eat-in kitchen, formal living room, formal dining room, and separate family room with a wood-burning fireplace. Large windows bring in abundant natural light, while the multiple living spaces offer flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, a home office, or additional gathering areas.

Priced to reflect its current condition and the improvements needed, this property presents an excellent opportunity to build equity while customizing a spacious home on an oversized 0.56-acre lot in the desirable Robin Lane neighborhood. Outside, the mature trees and generous homesite create a private, established setting with plenty of possibilities. A large covered patio provides additional outdoor living and entertaining space. The property also includes an existing in-ground pool that is currently in need of significant rehabilitation, giving the next owner another opportunity to reimagine and transform the outdoor space with the larger part of work completed.

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.
