Cons

Property Age (Built 1974): Despite extensive upgrades, the home's original construction year of 1974 might lead to concerns about the condition of unseen systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) or require more diligent inspections from some buyers.
Potential for Fewer Functional Bedrooms: The description notes the primary suite 'was 4th bedroom,' which, despite the listing indicating 4 beds, suggests a layout where a dedicated 4th bedroom might have been absorbed, potentially limiting flexibility for buyers specifically needing four distinct sleeping areas.
Premium Pricing Relative to Recent Sales: The current list price of $1.725M represents a significant increase from the property's last recorded sale in June 2024 at $1.608M, which may require strong market justification and could be perceived as aggressive by some prospective buyers.
