MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
High Monthly Association Fee: The substantial monthly association fee of $878.0 is a significant ongoing expense that could impact affordability and cash flow for potential buyers.
Older Building Structure: Built in 1975, the complex is an older structure, which may imply potential for higher maintenance costs or future special assessments for the building's common elements, despite the unit's interior remodel.
Compact Living Space: With 900 square feet, the unit offers a relatively compact living area for a 2-bedroom, 2-bath configuration, which might be a drawback for buyers desiring more expansive interior space.
