Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 29812, other record living area = 19811. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 9, other record bedroom count = 7.
Ultra-Niche Market & Price Point: The $54.9 million asking price positions this property in an extremely exclusive and limited buyer pool, potentially leading to a longer market time compared to less expensive luxury properties.
Significant Ongoing Expenses: Beyond the purchase price, the property incurs substantial ongoing costs, including a high association fee of $6,000 (likely annual) and considerable expenses for maintenance, staffing, utilities, and property taxes commensurate with an estate of this size and caliber.
Potential for System Updates (Year Built 1998): While the property boasts extensive luxury and bespoke craftsmanship, its 1998 construction date means core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are over 25 years old. Despite apparent meticulous upkeep, a buyer at this price point may anticipate or require modernizing certain infrastructure elements.
