Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1987, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but retains several outdated features consistent with its age. While the interior benefits from updated hardwood flooring and newer stainless steel appliances, the kitchen still features dated white tile countertops and older-style cabinetry that has been painted rather than replaced. The property lacks a full modern renovation, and the infrastructure reflects its 30+ year history despite the aesthetic refreshes.
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Situated in Cardiff’s highly coveted Walking District, the property offers unparalleled walkability to world-class surf spots, the beach, and local dining, all with the benefit of no HOA fees.
The residence boasts stunning lagoon and water views, enhanced by a wraparound deck, a private primary balcony, and an outdoor shower that perfectly facilitate a coastal indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
With 1,618 square feet of living space, the home is relatively small for a three-bedroom property at this price point, which may feel restrictive for larger families.
Built in 1987, the property may require significant capital investment for modernizing systems or aesthetic finishes to align with contemporary luxury standards.
