Cons

Age of Core Structure: Built in 1948, despite updates, the underlying structure and potentially some major systems may be original, which could lead to unforeseen maintenance or repair costs typical of older homes.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central air conditioning), which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in La Mesa.
