While the 1921 French Normandy architecture is charming, the single-story floor plan may lack the vertical separation and modern 'open-concept' volume often sought by luxury buyers in this price bracket.
With a list price near $6 million for a four-bedroom residence, the property commands a high price-per-square-foot that may limit the pool of potential buyers to a very specific niche market.
