Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =1051, other record lot size in square feet = 81203.
High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $776.0 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
Age of Building: Built in 1965, the property is over 50 years old. While professionally maintained, an older building may eventually require more significant capital expenditures for updates or repairs to common elements.
Limited Square Footage: With 1041 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, the living space might be considered compact for some buyers, especially given the premium price point in the Menlo Park market.
