Open House Review: 38 Fort Sumter

With the price dropping from $1,150,000 to $1,085,000 on August 15, the open house had a good amount of people.  38 Fort Sumter has a desirable ground floor master bedroom, secondary bedroom and a separate living quarters upstairs with two additional bedrooms.  Originally a single level home, the flow has some awkward space on the first level, but it is spacious and the second level is a big selling point.  The huge, flat, backyard is perfect for entertaining and while it backs to the street, Northwood, it is a low traffic non-residential street.  The home is selling with the refrigerator and electric car charger.

Open House Review: 100 Kempton

This one bedroom, ground level home boasts an extra den.  The front door is on a parallel row of homes, one row away from Kempton so visitors will not be able to park right outside the front door, however the location of the property is private and quiet, facing a wall which backs to Groveland.  Although the listing states 2 bedrooms, it is actually a one bedroom with a den.  Although the den could easily be converted to a bedroom, buyers should be aware that the only place to bathe is in the master bathroom.  The powder room does not have a place to shower/bathe.
