The home was built in 1936 and originally included a 1 car garage (~21' x 10.75')which was converted within a few short years after construction into a bedroom. It is believed to be permitted, however, no permit records are available before 1946. Public records indicates 913 sq. ft. with 2br/1ba. Middle bedroom has a portable closet, hence technically not considered a bedroom for public record purposes but size and utility of a bedroom. Primary bathroom was added in 2021. Owner is licensed real estate agent and certified licensed residential appraiser. Home measures 998 square feet. Difference in living area measurements versus public records could be based on current ANSI measure methods which is from exterior walls versus potential interior wall measurements from 1936.
