Cons

Historic Property Maintenance: Built in 1939, despite significant updates, an older home may present ongoing maintenance considerations or require specialized care that newer constructions typically do not.
Limited Main House Square Footage: At 1496 sqft for the main house, the living space might be considered modest for its price point, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking a larger primary residence.
Unrealized Roof Deck Potential: While the description mentions 'possibilities for a roof deck for breathtaking ocean and sunset views,' this desirable feature is not currently built and would require additional significant investment and construction.
