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 = 3.
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive renovations, the main residence was originally built in 1978, which may still present perceptions of an older home's underlying structure or layout for some buyers.
High Price Point: The list price of nearly $3 million positions this property in a highly competitive and exclusive market segment, naturally narrowing the pool of potential buyers.
Implied Further Investment for 'Masterpiece': While offering 'untapped potential' for a 'masterpiece estate,' this suggests that buyers aiming for a fully customized luxury home may need to budget for substantial additional investment beyond the purchase price.
