Cons

Original Construction Year: Built in 1998, the property may require updates to certain systems or finishes to align with the latest luxury home standards and energy efficiency expectations of some buyers.
Lack of Detailed Interior Renovations: While described as 'exquisite,' the listing does not specify recent high-end interior renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, smart home technology), which could be a consideration for luxury buyers seeking fully modernized spaces.
High Price Point & Market Niche: The multi-million dollar price tag targets a very specific, affluent buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer market time compared to properties in broader price ranges, especially given the recent price reduction.
