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 = 2.
Limited Bathroom Count: The residence features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may present functional limitations or inconvenience for families or multiple occupants.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1925, despite recent updates, the underlying structure's age could imply potential for unseen issues or maintenance needs related to older infrastructure not explicitly covered by the listed upgrades.
Compact Interior Living Space: With 1080 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom home, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or room for future expansion.
