Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1979, is well-maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated in several key areas. The kitchen features older tile countertops and dated almond-colored appliances, and the bedrooms contain older, patterned carpeting. While there are some updates, such as a modernized bathroom with contemporary tiling and some newer light fixtures, the home largely retains its original character and requires modernization to meet current luxury standards. The property is functional and move-in ready but fits the 'fair' criteria due to the age of major cosmetic components and the need for minor updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 47698, living area = 1856.
The inclusion of a separate studio apartment provides significant flexibility for potential rental income, a private guest suite, or a dedicated creative studio.
Situated on over an acre, the property features a private pool and an expansive deck that captures stunning panoramic views of the ocean and valley.
The property features a carport rather than a traditional enclosed garage, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking secure storage or full vehicle protection.
With over 100 days on the market and a recent $100,000 price reduction, the property may face challenges regarding its perceived value or need for modernization given its 1979 build.
