Featuring a move-in ready Condition Rating of 4, the property is well-maintained yet offers significant potential for modernization to align with luxury standards.

Located within the Lucia Mar Unified district near Shell Beach Elementary, this home is a perfect sanctuary for Owner-Occupants or Vacation Home Buyers seeking a coastal retreat.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1999, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but shows clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features original oak cabinetry and basic tile flooring, though it has been partially enhanced with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The presence of white carpeting throughout the living areas and original-style light fixtures aligns with the 'fair' criteria for a home built 25 years ago that has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation.
The property features expansive, panoramic Pacific Ocean vistas and some of the strongest view corridors on the block, providing a stunning coastal backdrop from its elevated hillside position.
Situated in the highly desirable Shell Beach area, the home offers immediate proximity to scenic cliffs, sandy beaches, and the Pismo Preserve, perfectly capturing the Central Coast lifestyle.
Positioned adjacent to open space on a quiet hillside street, the residence provides a rare combination of elevated privacy and a retreat-like atmosphere while remaining close to urban amenities.
At a list price of $1,899,000 for 1,802 square feet, the property commands a significant premium that may be a deterrent for buyers seeking more interior living space for the investment.
Built in 1999, the home may require updates to its original fixtures and finishes to align with the contemporary luxury standards expected at this price point.
