More Insights

Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1990, shows signs of being well-maintained with some recent cosmetic updates like refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures in living areas and some bedrooms. However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, backsplash, flooring, and older white appliances, indicating a need for substantial renovation to meet current standards. Most other bathrooms also exhibit similar dated tile work and fixtures, though the master bathroom has a more updated vanity. While move-in ready, the significant updates required in the kitchen and most bathrooms, along with the absence of central air conditioning, place it in the 'fair' category, as it requires more than minor updates to modernize key areas.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2860, other record living area = 2334. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2364, living area = 2860.
Potential for Dated Systems/Finishes: Built in 1990, while well-maintained, some systems or non-refinished areas may not be fully updated to modern standards, potentially requiring future investment from a new owner.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights natural ocean breezes for cooling, but the property does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a drawback for buyers preferring mechanical cooling during hotter periods.
Limited Lot Size: The 2,364 sqft lot size, while typical for the Sand Section, offers limited outdoor space beyond the described decks and courtyard, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger private yard.
