CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Absence of Central Cooling System

    The property description does not mention a central air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer months, despite coastal breezes.

  • Modest Lot Size for Price Point

    While offering privacy, the 6,534 sqft lot size might be considered modest by some luxury buyers seeking more expansive grounds or extensive flat yard space for an $8.495M property.

  • Potential for Accessibility Challenges

    The description of a 'perched lot' and 'elevated outdoor living' could imply a sloped terrain, potentially leading to numerous stairs or a steep driveway, which may not suit all buyers.
