  • Charming single-story brick house at 906 Abbott Street, Henderson, featuring a gray shingle roof, black shutters, and a white front door. A curved concrete walkway leads to the entrance, with minimal landscaping and a carport partially visible on the left.

    • Price: ⚖️ (Sold for $500 more)

    • Sq Ft: ⬆️ (66 sq ft larger)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($9 less per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Visibly dated interior)

    This home on Abbott Street offers a classic brick exterior and a double carport, which are great features that 860 Nelson lacks. However, once you step inside, the differences are clear. This sold listing has very dated honey-oak cabinets and older carpeting, whereas 860 Nelson has been refreshed with modern grey tones and new flooring. You are essentially choosing between the structural durability of a brick home and the immediate convenience of a modern, updated interior.

    🟡 860 Nelson appears fairly priced here as a trade-off; you’re giving up the brick exterior and carport for a much more modern and fresh interior feel.

  • Set on a slight hill at 1220 Roanoke Avenue, this brick house with a small porch is enveloped by tall pine trees. A wooden staircase leads to the entrance under a clear blue sky, hinting at sunshine. The neighboring Henderson home peeks through the foliage.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($44 less per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Needs significant repair)

    This sold listing was a true ‘fixer-upper’ project. While the price tag was significantly lower than 860 Nelson, the photos show it needed a total overhaul, including new flooring throughout and likely major kitchen and bath work. 860 Nelson has already had the hard work done for you, including a new roof and water heater. When you factor in the cost of materials and labor to bring this Roanoke Avenue home up to a liveable standard, the price gap between the two makes a lot of sense.

    🟡 860 Nelson is a great choice for a buyer who wants to move in on day one without the headache of a major renovation project.

  • A small, single-story white house with black shutters and a dark shingled roof sits on a grassy lawn bordered by trees at 902 Roanoke Avenue in Henderson, featuring a front deck with classic white railings.

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬆️ ($29 more per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬆️ (High-end luxury remodel)

    This sold listing represents the top end of the local market for homes of this size. While 860 Nelson has been nicely updated with new flooring and paint, this property on Roanoke Avenue features a true gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and high-end cabinetry. You can see the difference in the finish levels, especially with the refinished hardwood floors and designer tile work in the bathrooms. It is a much more expensive home, but it offers a level of luxury that justifies the higher price point.

    🟡 If you are looking for a turnkey home but don’t need the high-end luxury finishes of Roanoke Avenue, 860 Nelson offers a similar move-in ready experience at a much more accessible price.
