Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
Original Construction Year (1971): Despite recent cosmetic upgrades, the property's 1971 build year may imply older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, insulation) that could require future attention or not meet modern efficiency standards.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The description does not mention a central air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant consideration for comfort during warmer months in a luxury residence.
Substantial Price Appreciation: The current list price reflects a significant increase from its last sale in 2021, potentially raising questions about market value and justification for the premium, despite the noted upgrades.
