Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2524, other record living area = 1765.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1955, the main residence, despite renovations, may still have underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or may not meet the latest energy efficiency standards.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for buyers in warmer months, potentially requiring an additional investment for installation.
Shared Lot Dynamics for Two Homes: While offering flexibility, having two distinct residences on a single 9,026 sqft lot might present challenges regarding shared utility access, noise considerations, or perceived privacy for both occupants, depending on the exact layout and usage.
