Hasn't traded on the open market since May 1993, when it sold for $138,000 — every ownership change since (2000 and 2009) happened off market with no published price. The county styles this 886 sq ft cottage a one-story bungalow, though its storybook front gable reads two stories from the street. As of July 2026, Redfin estimated its value at $530,000.

House notes
- Storybook cottage front: twin steep gables, a diamond-paned accent window, and a green awning over the door
- County records call it a one-story bungalow, but the front gable rises two stories over the attached garage
- Renovated in 1950, eight years after it was built
- Legal lot 5, block 14 of the Richmond City Center subdivision
- Ownership changed hands in 2000 and again in 2009, but neither transfer has a published sale price
- Assessed value was cut to $108,500 during the recession, then restored in 2014 with a 50.9% tax jump
