Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 2.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: Despite extensive renovations, the property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort consideration for buyers, especially during warmer months.
Potential for Older Structural Elements: While major systems and aesthetics have been updated, the core structure dates back to 1926, which may imply potential long-term maintenance considerations for elements not explicitly covered by the recent renovations.
Limited Specific Outdoor Entertainment Features: Although there is a private, fenced backyard and patios, the description lacks details on high-end outdoor amenities (e.g., outdoor kitchen, elaborate landscaping, fire pit) that would fully complement the luxurious interior and open-concept entertaining theme.
