Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
High Monthly Association Fee: A substantial monthly association fee of $580.0 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which could impact affordability for some buyers.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, the property may not cater to buyers desiring multiple full bathrooms, which can be a consideration for a 2-bedroom unit.
Age of Building Infrastructure: Built in 1975, despite extensive interior remodels, the underlying building infrastructure and systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond cosmetic updates) are older, potentially leading to future maintenance considerations.
