2. Is the lot size typical for the area?
Yes. The land area of 4,832 sq ft is around the average for both Ravensden Drive and the wider Dakota Crossing neighborhood. The home’s standout features are its building size and newness, not its lot size.

3. What does the "renovated basement" include?
The listing confirms the basement is renovated but does not specify the finishes or layout. This is a key detail to clarify with the listing agent to understand the quality and scope of the renovation.

4. How stable has the home's value been?
