Despite its close proximity (five blocks) to the beach, the property only offers treetop and neighborhood views, which may be a consideration for buyers expecting ocean vistas in this coastal market.
While updated, the 1981 construction means the underlying structure is older. The kitchen is described as 'refreshed' rather than fully 'remodeled,' which might imply less extensive upgrades than some buyers expect at this price point.
Being a 4-unit complex, while potentially quiet, can sometimes lead to more direct and potentially involved HOA management responsibilities for owners compared to larger, professionally managed associations.
