Cons

Significant Overpricing: The current list price is substantially higher (approximately 28% above) the estimated market value, indicating a potential pricing mismatch with comparable properties.
Older Property Age: Built in 1948, the property is considerably older than many recently sold comparables in the area, which could suggest potential for deferred maintenance or a need for modern updates to meet current luxury standards.
Regulatory Compliance Risk: Described as an SFR 'designed to function like two separate homes' with an Airbnb history, there's a potential risk regarding zoning compliance or short-term rental regulations, which could impact its income-generating potential.
