Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and shows pride of ownership with well-maintained systems and finishes. While originally built in 1959, the home has undergone significant updates, including a kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, and updated bathrooms with walk-in showers. The terra cotta tile and custom built-ins are in excellent shape. It does not qualify as 'excellent' because the renovations and style (e.g., cabinetry and tile choice) appear to be older than five years, but it remains in high-quality, functional condition.
Ideally situated in Pismo Beach, this property offers exceptional walkability and proximity to the beach, local parks, hiking trails, and downtown dining, epitomizing the California coastal lifestyle.
The rare five-bedroom configuration includes primary suites on both the main and upper levels, providing excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guest privacy, or a high-end home office.
Thoughtful design elements like the covered front porch, French doors, and private flagstone patios seamlessly connect the interior to lush, mature landscaping and a citrus-anchored backyard.
The property features 'peek-a-boo' ocean views rather than expansive or unobstructed vistas, which may be a drawback for buyers expecting significant water views at this price point.
Originally built in 1959, some interior finishes and the overall aesthetic may require further modernization to meet the expectations of buyers seeking a contemporary luxury coastal home.
