Compact Lot Size: The 2,400 sq ft lot is relatively small for a 4-bedroom home, potentially limiting outdoor living space or future expansion opportunities.
Prior Market History: The property being 'back on market again' could suggest previous transaction issues, which might warrant further inquiry from potential buyers.
Age of Original Structure: Despite extensive renovations, the home's 1912 original build year might imply potential for underlying structural or historical issues not covered by recent updates, or higher long-term maintenance considerations for an older foundation.
