Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2001, the property is 23 years old and largely retains its original finishes, including dated tiled kitchen countertops and cabinetry. While the home is well-maintained with some modern updates like stainless steel appliances and an EV charging outlet, the age of the primary systems and interior aesthetics fall into the Fair category, suggesting a need for cosmetic updates.
Situated on Beach Hill, this property offers an exceptional lifestyle within walking distance to the Santa Cruz Wharf, the Boardwalk, and local beaches.
The home features high-end finishes including custom built-ins and designer lighting, plus a 1-car garage equipped with a 220V EV charging outlet.
The three-bedroom, three-bath configuration includes a ground-floor bedroom with patio access and a private paver backyard, providing excellent flexibility for guests or a home office.
With over 150 days on the market and eight price reductions, the property has struggled to find its price point, which may lead to buyer hesitation.
The monthly association fee of $670 is relatively high, and the 1-car garage may be insufficient for a three-bedroom household with multiple vehicles.
