Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6230, other record living area = 4994.
Potential for High Maintenance Costs: A property of this size (6,200+ sqft) with extensive luxury amenities including a lap pool, spa, elevator, and multiple HVAC zones will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance and utility expenses.
Limited Private Green Space: While offering a pool deck and proximity to a park, the property description does not emphasize a large, private yard or garden, which some luxury buyers may desire for extensive outdoor living beyond the pool area.
Traffic/Noise Exposure: Located on Ocean Avenue Extension, a prominent thoroughfare, the property may experience higher levels of traffic noise and activity, potentially impacting the tranquility of the outdoor spaces despite the oceanfront appeal.
