Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 12.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 3000, living area = 5865.
Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The $667 monthly association fee is a significant recurring expense that will impact the overall cost of ownership and affordability.
Absence of Cooling System: There is no mention of an air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a comfort consideration during warmer periods, especially for a west-facing unit.
Single Bathroom Configuration: The property features only one bathroom for a two-bedroom unit, which may present practical limitations for multiple occupants or when hosting guests.
