Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $781.0 per month is substantial and adds significantly to the ongoing cost of ownership, which could be a deterrent for some buyers.
Age of Building Infrastructure: Built in 1966, while the unit is updated, the overall building infrastructure is older, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs or special assessments in the future for common areas not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a condominium, the property offers limited private outdoor space, confined to a balcony, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard or more extensive personal outdoor living area.
