Key Characteristics & Appeal
This 1987-built home in River Park South stands out for its generous proportions, both in its living space and, more notably, its land. With 1,779 sqft of living area, it is consistently above average for its street, neighborhood, and city-wide comparisons. The true distinguishing feature is the 13,004 sqft lot, which ranks in the elite top 5% on its street and top 1% in River Park South. This offers exceptional outdoor space potential that is rare for the area.
The home’s assessed value of $585k reflects its premium positioning, ranking in the top 10-15% of its broader market. Its appeal lies in offering a well-established, mature property on a substantial private lot, providing room for expansion, gardening, or recreation that is hard to find in newer subdivisions. It would suit a buyer looking for space and privacy without moving to a rural area, potentially a family wanting a large backyard or someone interested in the long-term value of a significant urban lot. The data suggests it’s a property that outperforms its peers in tangible assets (land and size) rather than just recent updates, appealing to those who see underlying value.
