Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant consideration for buyers during warmer periods, despite the coastal climate.
Leased Home Solar System: While beneficial, the home solar system is leased, which may entail ongoing financial obligations or require assumption of the lease by the new owner, potentially complicating the transaction.
Mixed Flooring Materials: The combination of tile flooring downstairs and carpet upstairs, while functional, may not align with all buyers' preferences for consistent hard flooring throughout the entire home.
