More Insights

Built in 1997 (29 years old).
Condition: Built in 1997, this property has clearly undergone an extensive and high-quality recent renovation. The kitchen features sleek, contemporary cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances (including built-in oven/microwave, gas cooktop, wine fridge), and modern countertops, aligning with a 'European-inspired' design. The bathrooms are spa-like, with floating vanities, vessel sinks, large glass-enclosed showers with modern tiling, and freestanding soaking tubs. Throughout the home, there is consistent bamboo wood flooring, modern light fixtures (recessed lighting, skylights), and a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. The description highlights 'designer finishes' and 'move-in ready,' and the visual evidence supports that all components are virtually new or recently updated to current quality standards, with no apparent deferred maintenance.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Modest Lot Size for Price Point: At approximately 7,000 sqft, the lot size may be considered smaller than expected for an almost $8 million oceanfront estate, especially for buyers seeking expansive private grounds or pre-existing large amenities like a pool.
Year Built (1997): While well-maintained and designed, the 1997 construction date means it is not a brand-new home, which might lead some luxury buyers to anticipate potential future updates or prefer more contemporary builds.
Potential for Limited Seclusion (Proximity to Park): Being 'along Shoreline Park' offers excellent access but could, depending on exact positioning, imply less absolute seclusion or potential for ambient activity from public park users, despite the description emphasizing privacy.
