Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Unwarranted Bonus Space: The lower-level bonus area is described as 'unwarranted,' which may present legal or permitting challenges and could impact its official square footage or future resale value.
Compact Living Area & Lot Size: With 990 sqft of living space and a 2250 sqft lot, the property offers a relatively small footprint for a 3-bedroom home, potentially limiting space for larger families or extensive outdoor activities.
Historic Property Considerations: Built in 1923, despite significant recent upgrades, the home's age may still imply potential for ongoing maintenance related to its original structure or components not explicitly mentioned as updated.
