Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1966 with renovations likely in the 15-25 year range. While the home is well-maintained and features a modern split HVAC system and granite countertops, the kitchen cabinetry and mismatched appliances are dated. It meets the 'Fair' criteria as a functional but aesthetically dated property needing minor cosmetic updates.
The property is situated just a flat, easy walk from Rio Del Mar beach, offering residents immediate access to coastal recreation and the highly desirable Aptos beach lifestyle.
Featuring high open-beam ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and a reverse floor plan, the home offers a spacious and inviting ambiance that maximizes natural light and ocean breezes.
The inclusion of a 165-square-foot deck and a separate 71-square-foot bonus bunk room provides excellent flexibility for guest accommodations, a home office, or additional storage.
At only 1,960 square feet, the lot is quite compact for a single-family residence, which limits outdoor yard space and may reduce privacy from neighboring properties.
With 47 days on the market and a recent price reduction from the original list price, the property is experiencing slower momentum, potentially indicating a mismatch between initial pricing and buyer perceived value.
