More Insights

Built in 1959 (66 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property has undergone extensive and relatively recent renovations, as evidenced by the 'Modern So-Cal Beach' decor, new interior/exterior paint, and high-end amenities. The main kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances (including a large built-in refrigerator and gas cooktop), granite countertops, and well-maintained wood cabinetry. While the cabinet style and some bathroom tiling (blue and white accents) show a slightly dated aesthetic, all areas appear clean, functional, and in good condition. Hardwood flooring is prevalent, and light fixtures are a mix of modern and transitional styles. The infinity pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, and media room further enhance its appeal. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with a 'Good' score, assuming major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are well-maintained and functional, though their specific renovation timeline isn't detailed.
