Cons
High Price Point Relative to Size: The list price of $1.845 million for 741 square feet represents a very high price per square foot, which may limit the potential buyer pool.
Significant Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $639 is substantial and adds a considerable ongoing cost to ownership, impacting affordability.
Building Age: Constructed in 1956, the building is older, which could imply potential for future maintenance or infrastructure updates not covered by the unit's interior remodel.
