This Spacious Single-Level Estate in the private Berta Meadows community is listed at $998,000, positioned with stability relative to its $972,567 Fair Market Value. Maintaining a Fair Condition Rating, the home features essential infrastructure updates including a rebuilt septic system and vaulted ceilings. The property excels in utility with an expansive 1.15-acre lot, canyon views, and a three-car garage. Situated within the North Monterey County Unified district, this residence offers a unique blend of privacy and potential, making it a premier choice for Owner-Occupants and lifestyle-driven buyers.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1988, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it largely retains its original architectural style and finishes. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry, white square tile backsplashes, and a vintage wood-boxed light fixture, despite the addition of modern stainless steel appliances. While the home benefits from a recently rebuilt septic system and updated hardwood flooring in the living area, the overall aesthetic—including mirrored closet doors and 1980s-era bathroom/kitchen designs—shows significant signs of being outdated, fitting the criteria for a fair condition score.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 50094, living area = 1865.
Situated on a 1.15-acre lot within a gated community, the property offers exceptional privacy, mature landscaping, and a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
The recently rebuilt septic system addresses a significant maintenance item, providing long-term security and reducing potential future costs for the new owner.
With over 60 days on the market and a recent price reduction, the property may be facing challenges in buyer perception or initial valuation within its specific sub-market.
Despite some updates, features like mirrored closet doors and 1980s-era finishes may require additional modernization to meet the expectations of contemporary luxury buyers.
