Outlook on Potential from the Author
Lets look at the science first and then the assessment overall.
Property Archetype: As a 4 bedroom with an modern mountain design, this home falls into a weird space in the market. The market is moderately overserved for 4BR homes, so the modern mix is interesting. |
Winning Features: This home has high ceilings, a massive amount of space perfect for spreading out versus what people may be used to in the city, and some Pocono charm ready to outfit with interior design. |
