This property on Carrington Avenue commanded a significant premium, largely due to its massive unfinished second floor which offers huge potential for future equity. While 200 Buckthorn Drive doesn’t have that expansion space, it provides a larger finished footprint on the main level for a much lower price per square foot. If you don’t need the extra attic space to finish later, the home for sale represents a much more efficient use of your budget.

This sold listing is a beautifully updated 1950s brick ranch that offers a unique blend of character and modern finishes, sitting on over half an acre with no HOA. While 200 Buckthorn Drive is brand new and offers that fresh, never-lived-in feel, the home on Flat Rock Church Road provides more land and the freedom of no restrictive covenants. The price difference is a fair trade-off between the modern efficiencies of new construction and the privacy and charm of a renovated classic.

When comparing 200 Buckthorn Drive to this 2002-built home, the value of new construction really stands out. This property sold for a higher price per square foot despite being over 20 years older and having a more traditional, segmented layout. 200 Buckthorn Drive gives you more actual living space and the latest design trends for a lower rate, making it a very compelling option in this price bracket.
