Whatâs the Deal with the Price?
This property started its journey at a bold $349,900 back in August 2024, but the real estate gods have since smiled upon you with a $5,000 price cut. So yes, itâs now going for $324,900 (a total steal in this market where even a shed can go for half a mil đł). Plus, with taxes at $4,434 annually, you wonât lose your shirt to the taxman.

Why Buy This Home?
Letâs get real: this house has hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and a fenced backyard perfect for summer BBQs or wildly inaccurate attempts at cornhole. Plus, the 1-car carport means your car gets a roof (because hey, it deserves one too).
Imagine cozy nights by the fireplace, Sunday brunches in the bright living room with its bay window, andâbest partâyouâre just minutes away from Lake Garda. Thatâs right, lake access with the flick of your HOA card. đ€
Not sure if you can afford it? Who knows in this economy! But at least you can daydream about it while being wooed by its charm.
