Open House Review: 12 Bull Run

This week, I visited a custom built home at 12 Bull Run in Northwood. Completely rebuilt in 1998, this home stands out from the others around it, all of which were built in 1980.

The Basics:
Asking Price: $1,259,000
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 4
Square Footage: 2,800
Lot Size: 6,098
Price per sq/ft: $449
Days on Market: 37
Property Type: Single Family Home
Year Built: 1998
Community: Northwood
HOA: $65 per month / Mello Roos: No
Schools: Brywood Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle, Northwood High School

From the front, this is a very attractive home and appears much larger than its neighbors, though this is partly due to the oddly-shaped lot that it sits on. The entryway features ceramic tile leading down a long hallway, with the living and dining rooms on the left and a bedroom on the right. There is a coat closet just inside the front door.
