Its pretty. what are taxes? whats the parking situation?

the house next door has 2 bedrooms and a sale is pending for 400, what makes yours different?

Maybe it's the 5 bedrooms? :)

In general, this house is in substantially better condition, and as another poster has pointed out it has five usable bedrooms (we've configured them as three bedrooms, a playroom, and an office). Taxes are roughly $3500 annually, with the residential exemption. There is only on-street parking (no permit required), and we've never had a problem finding parking (nor have our visitors).

That may change shortly, yanno, re permits.

Zillow has taxes at over $5,000...

The exemption shaves off 50%, right? Wonder where they get their numbers...

Our experience in looking for housing over the past few years is that you shouldn't trust Zillow for anything but grossly approximate numbers.
