Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1962, this property is described as 'lovingly maintained' and 'well-cared-for,' which suggests pride of ownership but indicates the home likely retains many original or older features rather than a full modern renovation. While the exterior shows updated vinyl windows and a clean appearance, the lack of 'remodeled' or 'updated' keywords regarding the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with the home's 60-year age, aligns with the 'Fair' category for a functional but dated residence.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Expansive Corner Lot
The property is situated on a generous 6,970 sqft corner lot, offering superior curb appeal and significant outdoor space for gardening or recreation.
- RV and Utility Access
The large lot and strategic positioning provide excellent access and ample space, making it ideal for RV parking or potential future expansions.
- Strategic Central Coast Location
Conveniently located near Highway 101, shopping, and dining, providing easy access to local beaches, wine country, and coastal towns.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

- Limited Garage Capacity
The single-car garage offers minimal space for vehicle parking and storage compared to the modern standard of two-car garages.
- Mid-Century Age
Built in 1962, the property may require updates to major systems or cosmetic modernization to meet contemporary energy efficiency and design standards.
