Lack of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a drawback for buyers in this price range who often seek panoramic or desirable vistas.
Age of Original Construction: Despite extensive renovations, the home's original construction year of 1978 means some underlying structural or design elements may not align with all modern buyer preferences for brand-new builds.
