Pros
The house is in move-in condition, with spacious and comfortable living areas and lots of closets and storage space. There are nice decorative touches like swinging doors between the kitchen and dining room. The outdoor space is private.
Cons
It is just off busy Central Park Avenue. There is no bathroom on the lower level. One of the bedrooms is a bit small.

Pros
The floor plan is very open and flows comfortably. The lower level has an in-law suite with a kitchenette, bathroom, living space, bedroom with a patio door, and its own laundry area.
Cons
The design of the deck lacks the sophistication of the rest of the home and could benefit from a renovation.
