Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1990 (34 years old) and appears to retain many original features such as tile countertops and vinyl/linoleum flooring. While functional and well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are dated and exceed the 20-year threshold, requiring cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property is ideally situated in the sought-after Live Oak area, offering residents the highly desirable lifestyle of being within walking distance to Sunny Cove beach.
This townhouse features rare ocean views from both the living areas and the bedroom suites, providing a premium coastal atmosphere that enhances property value.
The floor plan includes two spacious primary suites with dedicated bathrooms plus a ground-floor powder room, offering excellent privacy and versatility for owners or guests.
The presence of tile countertops and vinyl/linoleum flooring suggests the home may require modern cosmetic upgrades to compete with fully renovated properties in the area.
At $573 per month, the association fees represent a substantial ongoing carrying cost that may impact overall affordability for some prospective buyers.
