The improvements range in size from 1,400 to 3,396 square feet of living area and range in age from 39 to 55 years. The comparables contain from one to three and one-half bathrooms and a partial or full-unfinished basement. One comparable contains air-conditioning, two comparables have a fireplace and three comparables contain a one-car or two-car garage. The improvement assessments range from $15.07 to $17.18 per square foot of living area. Based on the evidence submitted, the appellant requested a reduction in the subject's improvement assessment.
