Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-07-09. The sold price is $910,000.00.
Compact Interior Living Space: At 1,100 sq ft, the interior living area is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, which may be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive indoor space.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1954, despite extensive modern renovations, the underlying structure is older, which could potentially raise long-term maintenance considerations for some buyers.
Non-Central HVAC System: While equipped with climate-control mini splits, the absence of a traditional central air conditioning system might be perceived as a limitation by buyers preferring a fully integrated and uniform cooling solution.
