  • Per the listing, the 2.39 acres are flat, with a small barn and a large open deck overlooking the BX Hills.

Things to check

  • Ask the City of Vernon whether the lower-level suite is permitted and what that means for rental use.
  • The home was built in 1974, so ask for the ages of the roof, furnace and septic system.
  • The listing shows a septic tank, so ask for recent pumping and inspection records.
  • The listing shows 3 bathrooms, but the room list shows 2.5, so ask the listing agent to confirm the count.
