Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1987 (37+ years old) and retains its original 'vintage' kitchen and Hollywood-style bathrooms. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, the oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and wall-unit heating are dated and exceed the 20-year threshold for modern updates. It is move-in ready but requires cosmetic and system refreshments to meet current market standards.
Situated directly across from the water in the sought-after Baywood Park, the home offers rare, unobstructed ocean and bay views from multiple vantage points.
The flexible floor plan includes a private downstairs suite and a detached backyard studio, making it ideal for professional office use, guest quarters, or multi-generational living.
An oversized balcony and a charming backyard provide ample space to enjoy the coastal climate and panoramic sunsets, maximizing the property's footprint.
