MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2172, other record living area = 1172. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 3.
Original Build Year: Despite extensive renovations, the property's original construction year of 1955 may imply older underlying infrastructure or foundation elements that were not part of the recent remodel.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: With a substantial 1,000 sqft ADU and a main house on a 6,741 sqft lot, the available private outdoor space for gardening or extensive entertaining might be constrained for both units.
Potential for Shared Living Dynamics: The presence of two independent living units on a single property, even with separate entrances, could lead to considerations regarding shared utilities, noise, or privacy between occupants.
