Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Coastal Location: The property boasts an exceptional location within walking distance to New Brighton Beach and Capitola, offering a highly desirable coastal lifestyle.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: Significant recent renovations include built-in lighting, dual-pane windows, a newer roof with solar panels, remodeled bathrooms, and refinished hardwood floors, providing a move-in ready and updated home.
Versatile Additional Spaces: The property features a sunroom addition with a wet bar and a detached finished room suitable for an office, yoga studio, or extra storage, enhancing functionality and appeal.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as 'move in condition' and 'lives large,' the home requires minimal immediate work, appealing to buyers seeking immediate occupancy.
Expansive Outdoor Living: An expansive yard with a flagstone patio, garden boxes, and a deck offers excellent potential for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.
Cons
Incomplete Outdoor Feature: The Koi Pond's waterfalls are unfinished, indicating an incomplete project that a new owner would need to address or complete.
Flexible Bedroom Configuration: While convertible, the property is currently set up as 2 large bedrooms instead of 3, which may require additional effort or cost for buyers needing a dedicated third bedroom.
Extended Market Time: With 290 days on the market, the property has experienced a prolonged listing period, which could suggest challenges with pricing, marketing, or buyer perception.
