More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property is explicitly described as a 'vintage home' requiring 'extensive renovation' and 'complete reimagining.' While the home appears clean and well-maintained, the kitchen features very dated white appliances, dark granite countertops, traditional white cabinets, tiled flooring, and striped wallpaper, suggesting a renovation 30-50 years ago or original components. The visible bathroom also shows dated fixtures and vanity. Although livable, the property requires substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for significant rehabilitation.

About this home
This prime opportunity offers single-level living with horizon ocean views from the front & rear yards and is just a few minutes from the Village, beaches and top-rated schools. This vintage home includes charming features like open beamed ceilings, brick fireplace and wood board-and-batten siding, and is undersized for the generous, mostly flat 0.3 acre lot, offering incredible potential for personalizing or complete reimagining - including the option to add a second story to fully capture the ocean views. A crescent-shaped driveway and front facing garage provide ample parking and a buffer to the street exposure. With a little vision & creativity, this can be transformed to its full potential and will be an opportunity missed if not acted on urgently!
