The home on Stackhurst Way was clearly a project, sold with a demoed primary shower and inoperable ovens, which explains its much lower price point. 1325 Marbank Street is in much better shape and is fully move-in ready, which is a huge plus for most buyers. However, the price gap is substantial, reflecting both the extra 1,600 square feet and the fact that you won’t have to manage a renovation immediately upon moving in.

This property is a very strong comparison because the interior finishes—like the honey oak cabinetry and carpeted living areas—are nearly identical to what you see at 1325 Marbank Street. While the home for sale offers much more space with that finished basement, the price jump of over $130,000 is quite steep. Even after adjusting for the size difference, this sold home was a significantly better value for the same level of interior quality.

This sold listing on the same street offers a great look at what a fully renovated version of these homes can fetch. While 1325 Marbank Street is significantly larger thanks to its finished basement, this property features high-end modern updates like quartz countertops, white cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. In contrast, the home for sale still has its original honey oak cabinets and popcorn ceilings. You are essentially choosing between the massive extra square footage at 1325 Marbank Street or the move-in-ready, modern aesthetic found here.
