Cons

Older Original Construction: Despite extensive modern renovations, the home's original build year of 1954 might be a consideration for some buyers who prefer newer construction, even with updated major systems.
Limited Full Bathrooms: The property offers 1.75 bathrooms (one full, one three-quarter) for a 3-bedroom home, which may be a drawback for larger families or those desiring two full baths.
Standard Lot Size: The 5,002 sq ft lot, while well-utilized and landscaped, is a standard suburban size and may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger, more expansive outdoor space.
