Cons
Conflicting Property Type: The listing describes the property as a 'duplex' with 'each 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence,' yet the sub_type is listed as 'Single Family Residence,' which could lead to buyer confusion, financing challenges, or misaligned expectations.
Potential for Limited Private Outdoor Space: While 'spacious great rooms flow seamlessly to the outdoors' is mentioned, the 'peaceful hillside setting' often implies terraced or limited flat yard space, which may not suit buyers desiring a large, traditional private yard for recreation or pets.
Lack of Specific Parking Information: The description does not detail parking arrangements (e.g., garage, dedicated off-street spaces), which can be a significant consideration for a duplex with multiple residents, especially in a hillside neighborhood.
