Cons
Property Age: Built in 1968, the home is over 50 years old. While updated, older properties can sometimes present unforeseen maintenance challenges or require updates to core systems not explicitly mentioned.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a notable price reduction from its original list price of $1.788M to $1.645M, which could indicate initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially affecting buyer perception.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning Mention: The property description does not specify the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a drawback for comfort during warmer months in California.
