Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4419, other record living area = 4070.
High Price Point: The list price of $10.88 million places it in an ultra-luxury segment, which may limit the pool of potential buyers despite its premium features and location.
Future Completion Date: With an estimated completion in January 2026, the property is not available for immediate occupancy, and construction timelines can be subject to unforeseen delays, which might not suit all buyers.
Limited Outdoor Space Relative to Home Size: While offering a private backyard and covered patio, the 4,419 sqft living area on a 7,500 sqft lot suggests a relatively compact outdoor footprint, potentially leaving less expansive green space than some luxury buyers might desire.
