Cons

Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description only mentions a whole-house fan for cooling, which may not be sufficient for all buyers in warmer climates who typically prefer central air conditioning.
Original Construction Year (1987): While extensively updated cosmetically, the home's original build year of 1987 suggests that some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) might be older and not explicitly mentioned as replaced, potentially requiring future maintenance.
Mandatory HOA Dues: Despite being described as 'low' ($91/month), the presence of mandatory HOA dues adds a recurring monthly cost that some buyers might prefer to avoid.
