Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =9583, other record lot size in square feet = 10353.
Bedroom/Bathroom Count Discrepancy: There is a notable discrepancy between the listed 3 beds/2 baths and the description stating it's currently used as 2 beds/1.5 baths, which requires clarification and could impact buyer expectations and perceived value.
Compact Interior Square Footage: With 974 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest, which might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more expansive rooms or a true three-bedroom layout for a growing family.
Older Property Systems: Built in 1956, despite noted updates like the roof and windows, other core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or older and could require future investment, as no central cooling system is mentioned.
