Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1985, while the interior has been updated, the underlying structure and potentially some major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) are older, which may lead to future maintenance considerations not explicitly addressed.
Limited Square Footage: With 1216 sqft, the living space is relatively modest for a premium ocean-view property in this market, potentially limiting its appeal to buyers seeking more expansive homes or larger family accommodations.
Two-Bedroom Configuration: The property's two-bedroom layout may narrow the target market, potentially excluding larger families or buyers who require additional bedrooms for guests, a home office, or other functional spaces.
