Cons

Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2282, living area = 3670.
Compact Lot Size: The 2,282 sqft lot is relatively small for a luxury home of 3,670 sqft, potentially limiting private outdoor living space and garden areas.
Limited Ocean View: While an ocean view is present, the 'Peek-A-Boo' description suggests it may not be a full, expansive, or unobstructed vista, which could be a consideration for buyers prioritizing grand ocean panoramas.
Absence of Private Pool/Spa: The property description does not mention a private pool or spa, which some high-end buyers might expect as a luxury amenity, especially in a coastal location.
