Open House Review: 80 Mapleton

Today I am reviewing a condominium with a main floor bedroom in Woodbury. Parking for guests is off the street in front of the home.  The home is an end unit with plenty of natural light, but could use some paint touch-ups on the interior walls.  A perpendicular street, Twin Gables, faces out from the living room window however, the property is well above street level, with its front door located up several stairs. If you are in the search for a home with roomy bedrooms, with one on the main floor, this home is worth looking at.

Asking Price:               $749,888

Open House Review: 29 Eden

This home is nicely located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street with one of the two community pools steps away from the home.  Not only is the home at the end of a cul-de-sac, but it also backs to a greenbelt, providing a sense of ultimate privacy.  I was surprised with the higher square footage price for a 3 bedroom home, but the location may be worth the higher price.

The basics:
Asking Price: $868,880
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2.5
Square Footage: 1,900
Lot Size: 4,050
$/Sq Ft: $457
