Featuring 127 Linear Feet of Ocean Frontage and a Condition Rating of 4, the home is Move-in Ready with Recent Cliff Stabilization already completed.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, this one-owner home is exceptionally well-maintained but features a kitchen renovation that appears to be 20-25 years old (dated raised-panel cabinetry and fluorescent light boxes). While move-in ready and structurally sound with recent cliff stabilization, the interior finishes and likely the core systems exceed the 20-year threshold for a 'Good' rating.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19646, living area = 2657.
Boasting 127 linear feet of ocean frontage on the prestigious Opal Cliff Drive, this property offers rare scale and sweeping panoramic views of world-class surf breaks like The Hook and Sharks Cove.
Situated on nearly half an acre, the oversized parcel provides a level of privacy, parking, and outdoor lawn space that is seldom found in high-density waterfront neighborhoods.
As a one-owner home built in 1968, the interior likely requires significant cosmetic updates or a full remodel to align with contemporary luxury standards and the current list price.
Despite recent professional soil stabilization, the cliffside location necessitates ongoing monitoring and potential future investment to mitigate inherent coastal erosion risks.
