Absence of Central Air Conditioning: Despite extensive upgrades, the description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in Southern California.
Original Construction Age: While thoroughly renovated, the home's 1949 original build year might raise concerns for some buyers regarding foundational elements or the overall structural integrity not covered by cosmetic upgrades.
