Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 10179, other record living area = 8870.
Exclusivity and Price Point: The nearly $20 million asking price targets an extremely niche market of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, potentially leading to a longer sales cycle compared to properties with broader appeal.
Historic Preservation Restrictions: Its designation as a Historic Cultural Monument and National Register property implies strict regulations on future renovations or alterations, which could limit a buyer's ability to personalize the estate without extensive approval processes.
Substantial Ongoing Maintenance Costs: A 10,179 sqft estate built in 1926, with extensive grounds, a pool, and specialized luxury features, will inherently incur significant ongoing maintenance, utility, and insurance costs, which are a considerable factor even for affluent buyers.
