Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: While HVAC ducting is updated, the property description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort consideration for buyers during warmer months.
Older Core Structure: Despite extensive modern renovations, the home's original construction year of 1956 means the underlying foundation and some core structural elements are older, which might lead to long-term maintenance considerations for some buyers.
Cul-de-sac Specifics: While offering quiet living, a cul-de-sac location can sometimes present challenges such as limited street parking or a less conventional lot shape, which may not appeal to all buyers.
