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 = 4.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2873, living area = 2776.
Limited Ocean View: The property offers 'Peek-A-Boo' views, which, while present, are not full, unobstructed ocean views that some buyers might expect or desire in a premium coastal location.
Compact Lot Size: The 2873 sqft lot size is relatively small, which is common for beach communities but may limit outdoor living space for buyers seeking a larger yard or garden.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning (Inferred): The property description does not mention a cooling system. While coastal breezes are often sufficient, the lack of central air conditioning could be a drawback during hotter periods or for future resale value.
