Cons

Multiple Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price drops from its original listing, potentially indicating an initial overvaluation or challenges in attracting buyers at previous price points.
High Monthly Association Fee: A substantial monthly association fee of $784.0 could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers, impacting affordability and budget.
Older Building Structure: Despite extensive remodels, the property was built in 1974, meaning the underlying structure and potentially some core systems are older, which might raise long-term maintenance concerns for some buyers.
