Cons

Property Age: Built in 1947, despite extensive remodels, the underlying structure is older, which could imply potential for age-related maintenance or infrastructure concerns not immediately visible.
No Designated View: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which might be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean or panoramic views often associated with prime coastal properties.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price is 8% higher than the estimated property value, suggesting it may be priced above current market algorithms, potentially impacting buyer interest or negotiation leverage.
