Cons
Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The $552.0 monthly association fee is a considerable ongoing expense that buyers must factor into their budget.
Recent Price Reductions: Multiple price drops from the original list price may indicate market resistance or initial overpricing, potentially affecting perceived value or time on market.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: While ocean breezes are mentioned, the lack of central air conditioning could be a significant drawback for buyers accustomed to or desiring climate control, especially given the property's 1963 build year.
