Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this 44-year-old home is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathrooms feature older square tile countertops, white appliances, and cabinetry that appear to be 20-30+ years old. While the vaulted ceilings and staging provide charm, the original-style linoleum flooring and flat-panel doors indicate a need for cosmetic updates and modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8276, living area = 1119.
The property is ideally situated near Aptos Village, Nisene Marks State Park, and Rio Del Mar Beach, offering residents easy access to top-tier dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation.
Featuring vaulted open-beam ceilings, a charming potbelly stove, and large windows, the home offers a bright and aesthetic 'coastal cabin' feel that maximizes natural light and redwood views.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
With 119 days on the market and a recent price reduction, the property may be facing buyer hesitation or perceived value misalignment in the current market.
