- Exceptional Layout and Views

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Vintage Infrastructure
Originally built in 1967, the home may have underlying structural or plumbing elements that, despite extensive cosmetic and mechanical updates, do not meet the standards of modern new-construction builds.
- Limited Usable Lot Topography
While the lot exceeds 21,000 square feet, the hillside location and emphasis on 'low-maintenance' living suggest that much of the acreage may be sloped, offering limited flat, functional yard space for recreation.
