Cons

Limited Ocean View: While offering a 'partial ocean view' and described as 'Peek-A-Boo,' the property does not feature the expansive, panoramic ocean views that are often a significant value driver and expectation in this premium coastal market.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1956, the property's core structure is older. Despite numerous updates, some buyers may prefer newer construction or a more contemporary architectural style throughout.
Moderate Lot Size: The 7,280 sqft lot size, while functional, is not exceptionally large for Palos Verdes Estates, which could be a consideration for buyers desiring more extensive outdoor space or significant future expansion potential.
