Cons

Significant Monthly Association Fees: The $704 monthly association fee is notably high, adding a substantial recurring cost to homeownership.
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive remodeling, the 1979 build year means the underlying structure and potentially some systems are older, which could lead to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade needs.
Moderate Square Footage: At 1288 sqft, the property offers a moderate living space, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive interiors, especially given the price point in this desirable area.
