Limited Expansion Potential: While extensively renovated, the 'turn-key' nature and current single-story footprint on a 9900 sqft lot might offer less flexibility for significant future expansion (e.g., adding a second story or ADU) compared to properties marketed with such potential.
Artificial Landscaping Preference: The use of 'Big Bully Luxury Imitation Turf' for the yard, while low-maintenance, may not appeal to all luxury buyers who prefer natural, lush landscaping or have concerns about artificial materials.
