Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1311, other record living area = 1188.
High Monthly Association Fees: The property carries a significant monthly association fee of $963, which is a substantial ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Age of Building (1973): Despite recent renovations to the unit, the building itself was constructed in 1973, which could imply older common area infrastructure or potential for future maintenance/assessment costs not covered by the current HOA fee.
Absence of Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a notable drawback for comfort during warmer periods, especially for a luxury condominium.
