Cons

Age of Property: Despite extensive remodels, the property was originally built in 1964, which may present some buyers with concerns about the underlying older structure or a preference for newer construction.
Absence of Pool/Spa: For a property of this caliber and price point in the San Mateo area, the absence of a pool or dedicated spa might be a missed amenity for some luxury buyers.
Limited View Specificity: While offering pleasant 'hillside views/greenery,' the description does not specify more highly sought-after panoramic bay or city views that can significantly enhance property value in this region.
