Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973, the property is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen features older wood cabinetry, white square tile countertops, and electric coil appliances consistent with a 20+ year old renovation. Popcorn ceilings and older carpeting throughout indicate the unit needs cosmetic updates and modernization to meet current standards.
This second-floor unit offers stunning, unobstructed ocean views and direct access to miles of private beach within a secure, gated community.
The property is sold fully furnished, providing a seamless move-in experience or immediate rental potential for vacation-home investors.
Residents enjoy exclusive access to a private gated community featuring tennis and pickleball courts, bird watching, and extensive coastal trails.
The monthly HOA fee of $844 represents a significant recurring expense that increases the overall cost of ownership.
The assigned elementary and middle schools have low ratings (2/10 and 3/10), which may deter long-term resident families despite the property's vacation appeal.
