The property was built in 1947 and last underwent a major renovation in 1993 (31 years ago). While the home is well-maintained and functional, the interior—specifically the bathrooms—features dated 1990s-era white square tiling and cabinetry that require cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
The property features approximately 51 feet of direct beachfront on the prestigious Padaro Lane, complete with private steps to the sand and proximity to Serena's Cove and Loon Point.
Renovated by architect Edward W. Engs and featured in 'California Beach Houses,' the home offers a unique blend of classic cottage charm and a striking two-story primary suite addition.
The open floor plan and glass-enclosed windbreak terrace maximize spectacular panoramic views of the harbor, islands, sunsets, and mountains.
While architecturally significant, the last major renovation occurred in 1993, which may require modern updates to meet the expectations of contemporary luxury buyers.
With 242 days on the market and a recent $1 million price reduction, the property may be facing liquidity challenges or perceived overvaluation relative to current market conditions.
