Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1215, other record living area = 1273.
Compact Interior Living Space: With 1215 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a luxury coastal property, which may not appeal to buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Small Lot Size: The lot size of 2362 sqft is quite small, potentially limiting outdoor expansion possibilities, extensive landscaping, or privacy compared to other properties in this price range.
Absence of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a drawback for some buyers, particularly during warmer periods, despite the coastal climate.
