Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1957, the property's age may imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as completed.
Traditional Styling: Described as 'traditional-styled,' which, while elegant, might not appeal to all buyers seeking a more contemporary or modern aesthetic, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
Lack of Specific System Updates: While highlighting interior features, the description does not explicitly detail recent updates to major home systems (e.g., roof, windows, central air conditioning), which could be a concern for a home of this vintage.
