219 Heidinger Drive
Sold Aug 4, 2026
Sold for $40k more381 sq ft larger$43 lower per sq ftExtensively renovated with stylish updates
This sold listing is a traditional two-story home that received extensive cosmetic and mechanical updates, including refreshed cabinetry, modern paint, and updated lighting. In contrast, 2804 Piney Plains Road is a true single-level ranch, which typically holds a price premium for buyers seeking one-level living.

Bottom line
The premium for single-story living combined with the lower overall price point makes 2804 Piney Plains Road a reasonable alternative to this larger two-story property.
