Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1976, the property is nearly 50 years old and remains largely in its original configuration. While well-maintained and functional, the kitchen is dated with painted original cabinetry and laminate countertops, and the flooring and fixtures throughout reflect a vintage older than 20 years. It is move-in ready but requires cosmetic and system updates to meet modern standards.
Positioned as one of the lowest-priced homes in the desirable Bay Village community, this property offers an exceptional entry-level value for buyers seeking affordability in a popular 55+ neighborhood.
The home features a rare combination of a gated private patio, a spacious backyard, and a separate gated side yard, providing significant outdoor flexibility for gardening, pets, and entertaining.
The thoughtfully designed single-story floor plan eliminates stairs, making it an ideal choice for the 55+ demographic prioritizing long-term mobility and ease of maintenance.
Strict age-qualification requirements (55+) limit the potential pool of buyers, which can lead to longer days on market and a more specialized resale process.
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms, the layout may be less convenient for residents who frequently host guests or prefer the flexibility of a secondary bath.
Exceptional value in Bay Village, currently among the lowest-priced homes available in this desirable 55+ community. This welcoming two-bedroom, one-bath home features a thoughtfully designed floor plan with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a dedicated dining area filled with natural light from a large patio door that opens to a gated private patio. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, and Downtown Watsonville, the home also offers easy access to the scenic Pajaro River Levee Trail, perfect for walking, biking, and enjoying the outdoors. The spacious backyard provides an ideal setting for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining, while a separate gated side yard offers additional outdoor space and flexibility. Additional features include a natural gas forced-air furnace and single-level living for everyday comfort and convenience. Bay Village community guidelines require at least one resident to be 55 years of age or older, with a second occupant permitted at age 45+. Non-resident owners may be of any age.
