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 = 5.
Property Age: Built in 1965, while updated, some original systems or structural components may require more frequent maintenance or eventual replacement compared to newer construction.
Limited View: The property offers 'Neighborhood, Pool' views. For a high-value Newport Beach property, the absence of panoramic ocean, harbor, or city lights views might be a consideration for some discerning buyers.
High Maintenance Demands: The oversized lot and extensive resort-style amenities (pool, jacuzzi, multiple gathering areas) imply higher ongoing maintenance costs for landscaping, pool service, and general upkeep.
