Cons

Age of Main Home: Built in 1960, the main residence, while described as lovely, may have original systems or components that could require future maintenance or updates compared to newer constructions.
Potential for Interior Modernization: While the ADU is newly built, the description does not specify recent comprehensive renovations for the main home, suggesting some interior aspects might benefit from modernization to align with current luxury standards.
Association Fee: The property has an association fee of $100.0, which is a recurring cost that adds to the overall expenses of homeownership.
