Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

The property was built in 1949, making it 75 years old. While the home is well-maintained and boasts desirable features like hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and stunning ocean views, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The listing's use of 'Virtually Enhanced' images for the kitchen and one bedroom strongly indicates that these key areas are not currently in modern condition and would require substantial renovation to meet contemporary luxury standards. The actual bathroom photo (Image 22) clearly shows dated cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes. The property is functional and livable but requires significant aesthetic updates in critical areas, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 111949, living area = 5265.

  • Prime Bluff-Top Oceanfront Location

    Unrivaled position on approximately 2.5 acres of bluff-top land offering panoramic, uninterrupted ocean and island views from every room.

  • Exclusive Hope Ranch Community

    Situated in a highly coveted enclave with access to private beach, equestrian trails, tennis courts, and close proximity to a prestigious golf course.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 5265, other record living area = 4320. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.

  • Age & Potential for Modernization

    Built in 1949, the main residence, while charming and 'ready to enjoy,' may not feature the latest luxury finishes or smart home technologies, implying a significant investment for a full contemporary update.

  • Substantial Association Fees

    The annual association fee of $3,484 represents a considerable recurring expense to the cost of ownership.
