Built in 1977 and held by the same family for over 40 years, the property appears to be in mostly original condition with dated wood paneling, older carpeting, and 1970s-era finishes. The listing description explicitly invites a 'reimagining' of the space, which is industry shorthand for a full interior rehab. While the sewer lateral has been replaced, the age of the kitchen, baths, and likely the HVAC/electrical systems suggests they are at or near the end of their functional life.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9234, living area = 1808.
Ideally situated near premier schools, boutique shopping, and world-renowned golf courses, offering immediate access to the best of the Monterey Peninsula lifestyle.
The property's elevated position provides beautiful bay and treetop views from the deck, capturing fresh ocean breezes and a serene coastal atmosphere.
