šŸ’„ Farmington Home Alert! šŸ’„

If youā€™ve been searching for a Cape Cod-style gem that doesnā€™t completely obliterate your bank account, look no further than 12 Lake Garda Dr. Now going for the cool price of $324,900 (down from its original $349,900 šŸ¤Æ), this 3-bed, 2-bath retreat is ready to steal your heart and potentially a few hours of your sleep as you dream of lakefront living.

This beauty comes with lake rights to Lake Garda, so whether youā€™re into kayaking, fishing, or just dramatically staring into the water contemplating lifeā€™s choices, this house has you covered. šŸ›¶ šŸŒŠ

Hereā€™s whatā€™s inside:

  • šŸ› Bedrooms: 3 (including a first-floor bedroomā€”no more post-wine stair climbs šŸ·)
  • šŸ› Bathrooms: 2 fully updated beauties
  • šŸ“ Square Footage: 1,152 sqft (compact, but plenty of room for your IKEA furniture)
  • šŸŒ³ Lot Size: 9,147 sqft (enough for a garden, or just a well-trained doggo šŸ•)
  • šŸ”„ Fireplace Count: 1 (perfect for staring blankly into during winter months while you question your life choices)
  • šŸ§± Built: 1950 (a house with historyā€”and probably less asbestos)

Whatā€™s 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, itā€™s now going for $324,900 (a total steal in this market where even a shed can go for half a mil šŸ˜³). Plus, with taxes at $4,434 annually, you wonā€™t lose your shirt to the taxman. Hereā€™s the price history:

Why Buy This Home?

Letā€™s 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, andā€”best partā€”youā€™re just minutes away from Lake Garda. Thatā€™s right, lake access with the flick of your HOA card. šŸš¤

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.
