What investors and buyers are saying right now
Heads up - the listing shows 6 bedrooms but the property description only accounts for 5 (2 on the 1st floor, 3 on the 2nd). The extra appear to be basement office rooms with a separate entrance. Worth asking the agent where the other bedrooms are before you visit — and pull the permit history to see if that basement was ever legitimately converted. Also worth knowing for anyone considering this as an investment — Garfield's housing department is notably attentive when it comes to school enrollment. The city cross-references rental occupancy against school enrollment records, so if you're running this as a multi-unit and tenants have school-age kids, you'll want proper lease agreements in place that accurately reflect who's living there and in which unit. Landlords who aren't buttoned up on this have found themselves on the city's radar. Do it right from the start.
Fake BedroomThis house feels so out of place in the neighborhood. The finishes are beautiful and large beautiful windows, but to look directly into your neighbors house. No backyard whatsoever.
OverpricedVery excited about this property. Great backyard and well maintained in person. Nice neighborhood.
Accurate ListingListing photos are accurate and representative — no surprises on arrival, which is refreshing. One practical note for anyone considering this property: if you drive a full-size truck or larger vehicle, the driveway exit onto the street is tight and awkward. I had difficulty pulling out safely. Worth a visit before you commit if that's relevant to you. Street parking is also more limited than it appears — a significant portion of the curb is reserved handicap parking, enough that you'll notice it immediately. If you're evaluating this for a multi-family or investment use where tenants will need street parking, factor that in carefully.
Accurate ListingProperty is accurately represented in the listing — what you see is what you get, which is rarer than it should be. The listing agent, Cheryl, is responsive and straightforward, a genuine breath of fresh air in a market where getting a call back feels like a miracle. Garfield continues to be an underrated market - close to transit, solid bones in most of the housing stock, and prices that still make sense for investors. Worth a visit if this fits your criteria.
