Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1115, other record living area = 934.
Single Bedroom Layout: The property's 1-bedroom configuration, even with an office, significantly limits its target market primarily to individuals or couples, potentially narrowing buyer appeal.
Townhome Limitations: As a townhome, it entails shared walls and a compact lot size (764 sqft), which may not satisfy buyers desiring greater privacy or expansive outdoor space typical of a detached home.
Recurring HOA Fees: The $364 monthly HOA fee, while inclusive of some services and amenities, represents a notable ongoing expense that adds to the cost of homeownership for a 1-bedroom unit.
