Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1940, the home is significantly dated but avoids a 'poor' rating due to recent essential system upgrades including a new roof, upgraded electrical panel, and new heater. While the interior requires modernization and the lot needs landscaping, the core systems are functional and move-in ready for a buyer looking to renovate.
Situated just moments from the beach, scenic recreation trails, and Highway 1, this property offers exceptional access to premier coastal amenities and a highly desirable lifestyle.
Key infrastructure improvements including a new roof, upgraded electrical panel, and a new heater provide a strong foundation and reduce immediate capital expenditure for the buyer.
The generous 3,900 sqft lot combined with a small existing footprint presents a rare opportunity for expansion, redesign, or a complete reimagining to build substantial long-term equity.
With only 686 square feet and a single bedroom, the current layout is very restrictive and may not meet the needs of most modern buyers without significant expansion.
The property is positioned as a 'canvas awaiting updates,' indicating that the interior likely requires a full remodel to achieve its maximum market potential and aesthetic appeal.
