Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1963 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer-upper' and 'blank canvas,' this property is over 60 years old with no evidence of recent renovations. The exterior shows significant weathering on the siding and decks, suggesting that the kitchen, baths, and core systems (HVAC/Electric) require a full rehab to meet modern safety and functional standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14000, living area = 859.
Situated in the desirable Rio Del Mar community, the property is within walking distance of Aptos Village and offers easy access to Highway 1 for commuters.
The generous 14,000+ square foot lot provides a rare 'blank canvas' opportunity with significant room for expansion, ADU potential, or extensive landscaping.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =14000, other record lot size in square feet = 14810.
The property requires extensive renovation and 'TLC,' which will necessitate a substantial additional investment of time and capital beyond the purchase price.
At only 859 square feet, the current living space is quite small, likely requiring a structural expansion to meet the needs of modern full-time residents.
