Pros & Cons

Pros

Turnkey & Recent Renovation: Completely renovated in 2023 by Buechler Builders, this single-level home offers modern amenities and a move-in ready condition, minimizing immediate maintenance concerns for buyers.
Income-Generating ADU: Features a fully equipped, attached ADU with separate utilities and entry, providing significant potential for rental income ($3,900/mo reported), guest accommodation, or multi-generational living.
Prime Coastal Location & Views: Situated west of Highway 5 on a top-of-the-hill elevated lot in Cardiff By The Sea, offering desirable horizon sunset views and peek ocean views from a quiet, private setting.
Future Development Potential: Includes potential for future development on 2 underlying legal lots, allowing for the conceptual construction of a legal twin home with potential ocean views, adding significant long-term investment value.
High-End Finishes & Outdoor Living: Boasts quality finishes such as white oak flooring, open-beam cedar ceilings, quartzite kitchen, Pella windows, and professionally landscaped grounds with multiple patios, water feature, and firepits.

Cons

High Price Point for Square Footage: With a combined 1,667 sq ft (main home + ADU) for a list price of $3.995M, the property may be perceived as having a high price per square foot, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
Limited Ocean View: While offering 'peek ocean' views, it does not provide full, panoramic ocean vistas, which some buyers might expect or prioritize at this premium coastal location and price point.
Complexity of Development Opportunity: The 'possible future development opportunity' on two legal lots, while valuable, implies a complex, potentially lengthy, and costly process for permits and construction, which may not appeal to all buyers.
