Last sold April 2013 for $235,000 — the 2013 bridgeMLS listing described it as a 'CHARMING SPLIT-LEVEL 2BR MACGREGOR HOUSE W/ STUDIO COTTAGE IN BACKYARD RENTED FOR $625/MO', listed by Wendy Bakkenta and bought through Catherine Krueger, both of Red Oak Realty. It has been a rental since at least 2023, listed at $2,650/mo through 2024. Sources disagree on size: the county records 925 sq ft of living area, Zillow's rental listing says 980, and Compass says 1,247 sq ft with 2 baths — the Compass figure appears to count the studio cottage, which the county's use code confirms as a second residence on the parcel. The 925 sq ft county figure is used here. As of July 2026, Redfin estimated the home at $665,320 and Zillow at $628,100.
