Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1965 mid-century home is a well-maintained 'time capsule' that retains its original architectural integrity but lacks modern updates. While the property appears clean and functional, the interior features—including wall-to-wall carpeting, textured wallpaper, dated light fixtures, and original stone fireplaces—show significant stylistic obsolescence. The listing description confirms the need for a budget to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category as it requires comprehensive updates to meet current market standards despite its exceptional views and structural potential.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 24372, living area = 2650.
The property boasts rare 180-degree vistas stretching from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean, showcased through expansive walls of glass and nine sliding doors.
Built in 1965, the home maintains its classic mid-century modern bones and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, offering a highly sought-after aesthetic for design enthusiasts.
