Pros & Cons
Pros
Unobstructed Ocean Views: The property boasts breathtaking, unobstructed views of Monterey Bay, including stunning sunrises and sunsets, from the living room, dining room, and private balcony.
Premium Coastal Location: Enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with a short stroll to the Santa Cruz Wharf, Boardwalk, beach, various restaurants, and shopping.
Modern Upgrades & Open Concept: The condo features a beautifully upgraded, open-concept design with modern finishes, offering ultimate comfort and beachside luxury.
Generous Living Space: With 1923 sqft for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, it provides ample and comfortable living space, which is substantial for a condominium.
EV Charging Capability: Includes a wired outlet for an Electric Vehicle (EV) in assigned parking spaces, a valuable and increasingly sought-after modern amenity.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: A significant monthly association fee of $709.0 adds considerably to the ongoing cost of ownership, which may deter some buyers.
Extensive Price Reduction History: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price ($2.249M down to $2.049M), potentially indicating initial overpricing or market resistance.
Building Age: Constructed in 1979, the building is over 40 years old. While the unit is upgraded, the age of the overall structure could imply potential for future common area maintenance, special assessments, or dated infrastructure.
