This sold listing on W Front Street is a smaller ranch that commanded a higher price primarily due to its in-ground pool and modern 1980s construction. However, when looking at the interior, 602 Coggeshall offers a very similar level of cleanliness and updates but provides significantly more living space. Even without a pool, 602 Coggeshall feels like a better deal because you are getting much more square footage for a lower total price and a much lower cost per square foot.

The home on W Front Street is a stunning example of a high-end historic renovation, featuring luxury touches like a standing seam metal roof, shiplap walls, and designer lighting. While 602 Coggeshall is well-maintained and updated, it doesn’t quite reach the same level of custom finish seen in this sold listing. Additionally, the W Front Street property is a two-story home with more square footage, whereas 602 Coggeshall offers the convenience of true one-story living. The higher price for the W Front Street home is justified by its larger size and premium materials.

This sold listing on Franklin Street represents a classic fixer-upper opportunity, which explains the very low sale price. While the home on Franklin Street is almost identical in size to 602 Coggeshall, the interior photos show it requires a total overhaul, including dated honey oak cabinets and worn flooring. In contrast, 602 Coggeshall has been recently refreshed with new paint, refinished hardwoods, and updated vinyl flooring. You are paying a premium for the home for sale, but it is truly move-in ready compared to this project property.
