Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Original Construction Year (1961): Despite significant updates, the property's original construction year of 1961 may raise concerns about underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) not explicitly mentioned as fully modernized.
Premium Price Point: The list price of $1.2 million for a 3-bedroom home, even with extensive upgrades and a pool, positions it at a premium in the market, potentially narrowing the pool of prospective buyers.
Limited Green Space in Backyard: While featuring a pool and patio, the description notes 'a small lawn,' which might be a drawback for buyers desiring a larger grassy area for recreation or pets.
