Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, this home is well-maintained but shows significant dated elements. While the description mentions recent updates, the visual evidence of wood paneling, older tile countertops, and bathroom fixtures suggests renovations are likely 20+ years old. The property is move-in ready but requires cosmetic modernization in the kitchen and baths to meet current market standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9409, living area = 1739.
Situated in the highly desirable Rio Del Mar area, the property offers exceptional walkability to the beach and the top-rated Rio Del Mar Elementary School, embodying the quintessential Aptos lifestyle.
The rare 4-bedroom, single-story floorplan provides excellent accessibility and flow between the kitchen, family, and living rooms, making it ideal for families or those seeking long-term aging-in-place.
With four bedrooms distributed across 1,739 square feet, individual room sizes may feel constrained compared to modern luxury builds at a similar price point.
