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 = 4.
Smaller Square Footage: At 1186 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom home in this price range, which may limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Older Core Structure: Built in 1955, while updated, the home's original construction year suggests potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that may not have been fully modernized.
Lack of Central Cooling Mention: The property description does not specify the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in California.
