More Insights

Built in 1968 (58 years old).
Condition: Built in 1968, this property retains much of its original character, as noted in the description. While well-maintained, the kitchen features outdated cabinetry, butcher block-style countertops, terracotta tile flooring, and older appliances (except for a seemingly newer dishwasher). The general interior, including lighting fixtures and some flooring, also appears dated. The listing explicitly states 'modernization needs' and 'potential for substantial renovation investment,' indicating that while functional, the home requires significant updates to meet contemporary luxury standards. The 'digitally altered images' further highlight the need for aesthetic renovation.

Here you can savor stunning ocean views while preparing meals, dining, sharing conversations, and enjoying everyday inspiration. Flexible rooms throughout the residence are perfect for home offices or a creative studio, offering a sense of personal sanctuary where life unfolds seamlessly with calm and comfort. Outdoors, multiple patios, a generous level lawn, and mature fruit trees, including avocado, fig, and citrus, create a relaxed coastal setting ideal for everyday enjoyment and entertaining. The property offers ample space for a potential pool, cabana, and ADU, complemented by the two-car garage with storage and workshop space.
