Cons

Compact Living Spaces: The total square footage of 1690 sqft for 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across two units, with the main house being under 1,000 sqft, indicates relatively small living areas per unit.
Age-Related Maintenance Considerations: Despite renovations, the 1927 build year of the front home may present ongoing maintenance challenges or unforeseen costs typical of older structures.
Historic District Regulations: Location within a historic district (Simpson Track) could impose restrictions or require special approvals for exterior modifications, potentially limiting future customization.
