Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1950, the property's underlying structure is over 70 years old, which may imply potential for older systems or maintenance considerations despite recent remodeling.
Modest Square Footage for Price Point: With 1800 square feet, the living space might be considered modest for a luxury oceanfront property at a $5.4 million price point.
Absence of Cooling System: There is no mention of a dedicated cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a drawback for some buyers during warmer periods, despite coastal breezes.
