Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, the property is functional but significantly dated. The kitchen features 4x4 tile countertops and an electric coil range indicative of a renovation from over 25-30 years ago. While the interior appears well-maintained and move-in ready, the age of the finishes and likely older systems necessitate modernization and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
Situated in the heart of Capitola, the property offers exceptional walkability to Gayle's Bakery, Capitola Village, and the beach, epitomizing the ideal beach-town lifestyle.
The unique configuration featuring a main cottage plus a separate one-bedroom unit provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, a private home office, or guest accommodations.
Designed for easy living, the property features a manageable lot size and convenient amenities like integrated storage and accessible laundry, making it a perfect lock-and-leave vacation home.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
With over 90 days on the market and multiple price reductions from the original list price, the property may face challenges regarding perceived value or market positioning.
The relatively small 2,831-square-foot lot offers limited outdoor space and privacy, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a traditional backyard or room for future expansion.
A Cottage with Room to Spare in the Heart of Capitola. 622 Sunset is a beach-town home built for however life shows up. Up front, two bedrooms and a loft; out back, a one-bed, one-bath all to its own. Two connected spaces for guests, extended family, or a quiet home office. Room for everyone, or room to get away, sometimes in the same weekend. And all of it a short roll or stroll from Gayle's Bakery, Capitola Village, and Capitola Beach. Here the whole weekend happens on foot; coffee and a pastry in the morning, the sand in the afternoon, evenings in the Village; the kind of place where you park the car on Friday, leave the phone in a drawer, and don't reach for either until Monday. Everyday details make it easy, too: storage at the end of the carport and a laundry room you can reach from the bedroom or the patio. Whether you want everyone under one roof or space to spread out, 622 Sunset offers real beach-town living with the flexibility to grow around you; walkable, low-maintenance, and moments from the water.
