CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Vertical Living Layout

    The four-story configuration (including the rooftop) requires significant stair climbing, which may be a deterrent for buyers with mobility concerns or families with very young children.

    While the home is detached, the lot configuration is typical of high-density urban developments, offering only a small side yard rather than a traditional expansive backyard.
