$100,000 price drop - let me tell you why.
1698 Lake Manor Dr has been on the market for a while and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Buyers have toured it and raised concerns. Paint needs refreshing. Caulking has compressed. A few windows need attention. Some gaps near door frames. No pantry. Closets in the primary are smaller than you'd expect at this price.
There it is. Now let me tell you the other side.
This home sold for $1,300,000 in 2022. It's now listed at $1,298,000. Four years later in a market that has gone up, you can buy it for less. A similar home down the street at 1177 Lake Manor sold for $1,375,000 that same year with a worse lake lot, similar finishes, and less square footage.
This is 7,000+ sqft of brick and stone on the best lakefront lot in Lake Manor Estates. Private dock. Private pool. Two fireplaces. Main-level primary. Finished walkout basement with a theater room. And the seller is willing to contribute to renovations/cosmetic updates.
The issues are real. The opportunity is bigger. Call me.
$1,298,000 | Forest, VA | (952) 715-7715
