Property Overview

8528 Bauer Dr is a three-level townhome in West Springfield Mews offering approximately 1,444 sqft above grade plus roughly 744 finished sqft below grade.

The property has a strong 3-bedroom / 3.5-bath configuration, hardwood flooring, a finished lower level, newer windows, and very recent HVAC.

The existing condition is dated but functional, making this primarily a cosmetic value-add property rather than a major reconstruction project.

Main Level

Traditional main-level layout with:

• Hardwood flooring
• Separate living and dining areas
• French doors to the rear deck
• Good natural light
• Open stair configuration
• Half bath
• Functional kitchen

The hardwood appears to provide a strong existing base for a retail update.

Kitchen

• Large kitchen
• Existing oak cabinetry
• Full appliance package
• Eat-in space
• Hardwood flooring
• Good natural light
• Direct relationship to the rear outdoor space

The kitchen is older in style but maintains a functional layout and substantial cabinet storage.

Bedrooms

• Three upper-level bedrooms
• Hardwood flooring visible in multiple rooms
• Replacement windows
• Good natural light
• Existing closet storage
• Ceiling fans in select rooms

Bathrooms

The photos support the 3.5-bath configuration.

• Main-level powder room
• Upper-level full bathrooms
• Lower-level full bathroom
• Existing bath layouts are functional
• Finishes are primarily older/traditional

The bath count is a major resale advantage for a 3-bedroom townhouse.

Finished Lower Level

The lower level adds substantial utility beyond the 1,444 sqft above-grade figure.

• Approx. 744 sqft
• Finished recreation/flex space
• Full bathroom
• Laundry
• Mechanical area
• Storage
• Interior stair access

This brings the property to approximately 2,188 finished sqft, which puts it in a stronger comp bracket than buyers may assume from the assessor’s above-grade number alone.

Systems

• Central HVAC / heat pump approximately 1 year old
• Photos show very recent exterior equipment using current-generation refrigerant
• Windows approximately 3 years old
• Roof approximately 10 years old
• Water heater in place
• Public utilities

Exterior / Outdoor Space

• Interior-row townhouse
• Rear deck
• Mature wooded backdrop
• French-door deck access
• Assigned/community parking
• Established West Springfield Mews setting

The rear deck provides meaningful outdoor living space and appears to primarily need routine maintenance rather than a complete redesign.

ARV & Comp Support

Working ARV: $675,000

8527 Bauer Dr — $675,000

Same street / strongest location-specific comp

• 3 bed / 3.5 bath
• Approx. 2,028 finished sqft
• Fully renovated before resale
• Very similar townhouse product

The subject is approximately 160 sqft larger in total finished space, making this the strongest direct support for the $675K target.

6143 Green Hollow Ct — $670,000

• 3 bed / 3.5 bath
• Approx. 2,055 sqft
• Fully renovated
• Newer roof/windows
• Contemporary retail finish

Subject has approximately 133 sqft more finished space.

6149 Green Hollow Ct — $635,000

• 3 bed / 3.5 bath
• Approx. 1,980 sqft
• Finished lower level
• Updated condition
• Fresh August 2026 sale

This provides a strong lower/middle anchor.

Upper-End Support

6307 Millwood Cir — $699,000

• 3 bed / 3.5 bath
• Approx. 1,772 sqft
• August 2026

This shows that the broader market can reach the upper $600Ks, but I would treat it as upside rather than the base ARV.

Value Position

I would market $675K ARV, not $750K. That number has a same-street renovated precedent and fresh 2026 support.

Exit Profile

• Wholetail: Strong potential given existing hardwood, windows, HVAC and finished basement
• Retail renovation: Primary value-add exit
• Buy & Hold: 3/3.5 layout and finished lower level provide strong rental utility
• Flip: Works best for an investor with a controlled cosmetic scope
