About this home

We found 3 Cons,5 Pros. Rank: price - $1.20M(22th), sqft - 1724(41th), beds - 3(50th), baths - 3(50th).

Great listing in the quiet and sought after Monterey Bay Heights location. The home features large LR/DA w/fireplace and view kitchen with beautiful newly installed Quartz Counter Tops. Updated LED lighting throughout. South facing rear of the home allows pretty views of the Monterey Bay. All living areas located on the main floor. Very open floor plan allows lots of natural light through the multiple double pane windows. Ocean view deck runs the length of the home with easy access to rear yard. Home has recently been professionally painted inside and out. All carpets have been removed, exposing oak floors that have been beautifully refurbished. There is also a substantial indoor laundry room w/sink., Large front and rear yards are awaiting a gardener's touch., Downstairs is a very spacious all-purpose room that could have a number of uses. Currently has its own gas heating, sink, half bath with a separate shower enclosure. Would make a fabulous workshop, Rec Room or additional living space. Oversized two car garage is adjacent to a large stand-up crawl space perfect for storing gardening tools, bikes, and anything else you need to store. Parks, beaches, and commercial areas of Soquel, Aptos and Capitola are all a very short distance away. A great house for the money!

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1972, has received recent cosmetic updates including newly installed Quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, refurbished oak floors, updated LED lighting, and fresh paint. However, the kitchen cabinets appear to be original or older painted units, and the white gas range is dated. The kitchen flooring is also an older vinyl/linoleum style. The visible bathroom features a dated vanity, light fixture, and medicine cabinet. The listing also notes a 'Potential for Dated Core Systems' (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which is common for a home of this age without a full renovation. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the property requires further updates to modernize fully, particularly in the kitchen (cabinets, appliances, floor) and bathrooms, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Desirable Location: Located in the quiet and sought-after Monterey Bay Heights, with close proximity to parks, beaches, and commercial areas of Soquel, Aptos, and Capitola.
Monterey Bay Views: The south-facing rear of the home offers pretty views of the Monterey Bay, complemented by an ocean view deck running the length of the home.
Updated Interior Finishes: Features a view kitchen with newly installed Quartz Counter Tops, updated LED lighting, recently painted interior and exterior, and beautifully refurbished oak floors throughout.
Versatile Bonus Space: A spacious all-purpose room downstairs with gas heating, a sink, and a half bath with a separate shower enclosure offers flexible use as a workshop, rec room, or additional living space.
Open Floor Plan & Natural Light: An open floor plan with multiple double-pane windows allows for abundant natural light in all living areas, which are conveniently located on the main floor.

Cons

Potential for Dated Core Systems: Built in 1972, while cosmetically updated, there is no explicit mention of upgrades to core systems such as plumbing, electrical, or HVAC (e.g., central air conditioning), which could imply future maintenance or replacement costs.
Undeveloped Landscaping: The 'large front and rear yards are awaiting a gardener's touch,' indicating that the landscaping is either undeveloped or requires significant investment and effort from the new owner.
Extended Days on Market & Price Reduction: With 101 days on market and a recent price reduction from $1.225M to $1.195M, the property's market performance suggests it may be struggling to attract buyers at its current price point or has perceived value concerns.
