Built in 1998, this 26-year-old property is in original condition. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated oak cabinetry, tile countertops with wood trim, and older black appliances. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, it falls into the 'Fair' category as it is over 20 years old and requires cosmetic updates to meet modern market expectations.
The property boasts stunning, unobstructed views of Monterey Bay and is situated on a quiet street with easy access to Aptos Village, local beaches, and Nisene Marks Park.
Featuring an open floor plan and large windows, the home is specifically designed to maximize natural light and capture the coastal scenery from the main living and dining areas.
The sun-drenched backyard and spacious patio offer significant potential for an outdoor kitchen or hot tub, providing an ideal space for entertaining and gardening.
With 110 days on the market and three consecutive price reductions, the property has faced challenges in securing a buyer, suggesting a potential misalignment with current market expectations.
