Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: While the property features a modern electrical fireplace for warmth, there is no mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback during the warmer months in Southern California.
Modest Interior Square Footage for Price Point: With 1712 sqft for a $1.6M list price, the interior living space might be considered relatively compact for its high price point, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger homes.
Reliance on Community Amenities for Recreation: Despite the oversized private lot, the property does not include a private pool or extensive personal recreational facilities, relying instead on the community's shared amenities, which some buyers at this price point might prefer to have on-site.
