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 = 2.
Bedroom Count Discrepancy: The property title indicates 2 bedrooms, while the listing advertises 3, with one being a converted living room space, which may affect appraisal or buyer perception.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a townhome-style condo, private outdoor space is restricted, with the 'professionally landscaped front yard' likely being a common area rather than exclusive private use.
Potential Noise from Freeway: Its proximity to Freeway 10, while convenient for commuting, may introduce traffic noise, which could be a concern for some residents seeking quieter environments.
