More Insights
Built in 1988 (38 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1988, making it 36 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained, the complete absence of interior photos, especially of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests that these areas likely retain their original or dated finishes and styles. The property analysis also explicitly mentions 'potential for updates' and that 'some systems or finishes may be original.' This aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria, indicating that the home is aged but maintained, and likely requires minor updates to modernize the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current standards.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Location: The property boasts a fantastic coastal location, being just 0.7+/- miles from Surfers Beach and hiking trails, and less than 1+/- mile from shops and restaurants, offering excellent walkability and access to recreational activities.
Flexible Living with In-Law Unit: A significant strength is the separate in-law unit on the lower level, complete with its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining space, and private deck, providing versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated guest suite.
Bright & Open Living Space: The home features excellent natural light throughout, highlighted by a large open-concept great room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere.
Ocean View from Primary Suite: The primary bedroom suite offers a desirable distant ocean view from its private balcony, enhancing the appeal and providing a serene retreat.
Ample Parking & Storage: The property includes a spacious 3-car garage, providing generous parking capacity and valuable storage space.
Cons
Distant Ocean View: While an ocean view is present, it is described as 'distant' and primarily observed from the primary bedroom, which may not satisfy buyers seeking prominent or panoramic ocean vistas from multiple areas of the home.
Split-Level Design: The split-level architecture, with distinct upper and lower levels, may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those preferring single-level living or a more traditional floor plan, and could present accessibility considerations.
Potential for Updates: Built in 1988, the property's age suggests that some systems or finishes may be original and could require future updates or maintenance, depending on the extent of prior renovations not explicitly detailed.
