The history

The current owners bought the place in 2011 and have done some major work, including waterproofing the exterior in 2011, installing a backflow valve in 2013, and replacing the roof in 2016. The interior has a modern, open floor plan, with hardwood floors and large windows throughout. There’s also a deck on the main floor, and another one on the rooftop:

Big selling point

The owners have made a lot of expensive repairs—which, hopefully, will save the buyer money in the long run.

Possible deal breaker

The house is very thin—only 13.25 feet wide, which might demand some creativity when it comes to interior decorating.

By the numbers

• $1,198,000 • $4,024.64 in taxes (2016) • 1,350 square feet • 13.25-by-58.17-square-foot lot • 4 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 2 patios
