TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, the property is 38 years old. While the home is well-maintained with a newer roof and a recently serviced generator, the interior is dated. The kitchen has older cabinetry and the bathroom features original oak vanities, tile countertops, and carpeted areas that exceed the 20-year threshold for modern standards, necessitating cosmetic updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 21562, living area = 1805.
- Serene Natural Setting
Situated on nearly half an acre surrounded by mature redwoods, the property offers exceptional privacy and immediate access to multiple state parks and recreation areas.
- Architectural Character
The interior boasts vaulted open-beam ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace, blending contemporary design with a cozy, approachable atmosphere.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

The property's secluded nature results in a 13-to-20-minute drive to nearby towns like Felton and Scotts Valley, which may not suit buyers prioritizing quick access to amenities.
- Private Utility Reliance
Dependence on a private well system necessitates additional owner responsibility for water quality and system maintenance compared to municipal connections.
