Property Age: Built in 1978, the property is over 45 years old. While updated, the underlying original infrastructure may present potential long-term maintenance considerations for some buyers.
Compact Square Footage: At approximately 1,344 sq ft for a 3-bedroom unit, the living space might be considered compact by some buyers, potentially limiting spaciousness for larger households or those desiring more expansive interiors.
