Cons

Age of Original Construction: While extensively remodeled, the home was originally built in 1957, which may raise questions about the condition of underlying original infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Canyon Road Accessibility: Being 'tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined road off upper Mandeville Canyon' could imply winding or narrow access, potentially affecting daily commutes or ease of access for larger vehicles.
Limited Flat Usable Land: Despite a sprawling 18,078 sq ft lot, canyon properties often feature significant slopes, meaning not all of the land may be flat, usable yard space beyond the existing hardscaped areas.
