Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1961, this home is in mostly original condition and shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features dated cabinetry with exposed hinges and older white appliances, while the interior contains popcorn ceilings and worn carpeting. Although the property appears functional and has been maintained through regular upkeep, it requires comprehensive cosmetic modernization and potential system updates to meet contemporary standards.
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Situated in the highly desirable Cardiff By The Sea neighborhood, this property offers exceptional walkability to top-rated schools, local shopping, and world-class beaches.
The generous 6,400-square-foot lot provides a rare opportunity for expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant value-add potential.
Built in 1961, the home may require substantial modernization or updates to its core systems and finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards.
With only 1,149 square feet of living space listed at nearly $1.6 million, the interior footprint is relatively small, which may be a concern for buyers seeking more indoor utility.
Great Cardiff home on nice lot with room for an ADU. Ocean close and view from bedroom window and driveway. Walk to school, shopping, and beaches. Highly desirable neighborhood!
