Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2178, other record lot size in square feet = 1956. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
High Price Point & HOA Fees: The $5.95M list price for a 2-bedroom condominium, combined with a substantial $1,766 monthly association fee, targets a very niche luxury buyer and may impact market liquidity.
Condominium Restrictions: As a condominium, it entails shared walls and HOA regulations, which might not appeal to all luxury buyers seeking greater privacy and autonomy typically associated with Montecito estates.
Limited Bedroom Count: With only two bedrooms, the property may not accommodate larger families or those requiring additional guest rooms or dedicated office space, potentially narrowing the buyer pool for a property at this price level.
