Cons

Age of Structure: Built in 1925, despite thoughtful remodels, the underlying infrastructure of an older home may present future maintenance considerations not immediately apparent.
Lower-Rated Schools: Several nearby public schools have lower ratings (1-3), which might be a concern for families prioritizing highly-rated educational institutions.
Compact Interior Space: With 1118 sqft for three bedrooms, the interior living space may feel compact for some buyers, potentially limiting room for expansion or larger family needs.
