Pricing:
Great location, great curb appeal, quiet yard built for entertaining, but the house itself is a cosmetic fixer.  It's move-in ready, but you'll need to upgrade everything eventually.

The comps give us an excellent range to work with.  I'd feel comfortable with a price anywhere between $380,000 and $400,000.*

*This estimate is my opinion based on a visual inspection of the property, sales data, regional knowledge, and professional expertise.  While I believe my estimate to be accurate, it is only a professional opinion.
