Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4482, other record living area = 4235. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 3.
Multi-Level Design: As a multi-level residence, it may present accessibility challenges for some buyers or those preferring single-story living.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer Southern California months.
Limited Usable Outdoor Space: While offering a view-filled balcony, the description does not highlight extensive flat or usable yard space, which might be a consideration for buyers desiring larger outdoor entertaining areas or green space, especially given the 'perched in the hills' location.
