Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Advanced Age of Structure: Built in 1907, despite extensive upgrades, the underlying structure may still present potential long-term maintenance considerations typical of very old homes.
Potentially Compact Main House Layout: With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 1,440 sq. ft., individual room sizes in the main house might be smaller than some buyers prefer, impacting perceived spaciousness.
Mixed Local School Ratings: While numerous schools are nearby, some public schools in the immediate vicinity have lower ratings, which could be a factor for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
