Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this midcentury home is a well-maintained 'time capsule' but remains largely dated. While it boasts a new roof (2024), fresh exterior paint, and new carpet, the kitchen and cabinetry appear to be original or over 30 years old, featuring vintage elements like a Wedgewood range. Because the core functional areas (kitchen/baths) have not had a major modern renovation in over 20 years, it fits the 'Fair' category despite its excellent preservation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9400, living area = 1625.
Elementary School: Carmel River Elementary School (9/10). High School: Carmel High School (9/10).
Situated in the highly coveted Hatton Fields neighborhood, this property offers easy access to Carmel's beaches and downtown, while being zoned for top-rated Carmel Unified schools, including Carmel River Elementary.
The home includes only a one-car garage, which may be a constraint for multi-vehicle households or those requiring extensive covered storage.
While charming, the kitchen's vintage Wedgewood range and older layout may require a modern renovation to meet the expectations of contemporary luxury buyers at this price point.
