🔑 Bottom-Line Assessment
This property is excluded on two hard counts: it sold in September 2025 and is off-market, and the lot at 4,080 sqft falls below the 4,500 sqft global minimum. The underlying property is compelling — deeply renovated, right neighborhood, strong sqft and bedroom count — but it's not available and the tight lot is a structural miss.
If it comes back to market, it would likely land in Scenario B (near-miss: no garage, lot below minimum, otherwise strong). At the Aug 2025 ask of ~$1.6M it was priced above Scenario C range but below Scenario A. Worth flagging as a comp / neighborhood data point.
Note: Liz mentioned "$1.4M list price" — this may be the Zillow Zestimate displayed on the off-market page rather than an active listing. No new 2026 listing was found in any source.
