Despite being built in 1910, the property is described as a 'newly remodeled beach pad,' which is strongly supported by the images. The kitchen features modern two-tone cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, contemporary backsplash tiling, and updated countertops. The flooring throughout the visible interior spaces appears to be new luxury vinyl plank. While the bathroom light fixture is basic, the overall impression is of a comprehensive and recent renovation, bringing the key living areas to a virtually new condition, meeting current quality standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unbeatable Coastal Location: Positioned just one lot from the cliff on Depot Hill's premier Saxon Avenue cul-de-sac, offering direct access to the oceanfront path and a short walk to Capitola Village.
Significant Development Potential: An ADU application is in process, with clear potential for the new buyer to expand to a two-story residence, unlocking panoramic ocean views and increasing property value.
Recently Remodeled with Charm: Described as a 'newly remodeled beach pad' that 'exudes California Beach charm,' providing a move-in ready home with desirable aesthetic appeal.
Generous & Versatile Outdoor Space: Features a large, level lot with a charming backyard, including an ocean-view tree house, ample space for gardening, entertaining, and parking oversized vehicles.
Existing Ocean Views & Proximity: Located one lot from the cliff, the property offers existing ocean views from the backyard treehouse and the promise of panoramic views with future expansion.

Cons

Historic Construction: Built in 1910, the property's age, despite recent remodels, may present challenges related to older infrastructure, maintenance, or compliance with modern building codes.
Extended Market Time: With 157 days on market, the property has experienced a longer-than-average listing period, potentially indicating a disconnect between the asking price and buyer perception or other market challenges.
Future Investment Required for Full Potential: While offering significant potential (ADU, expansion, panoramic views), realizing these benefits requires additional investment, time, and effort from the new buyer, as they are not yet fully actualized.
