Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1973, appears well-maintained and clean, as stated in the description. However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, light wood cabinets, and white appliances, suggesting a renovation that is likely 15-30 years old. The bathrooms also exhibit an older style with white tile and standard fixtures. While functional and move-in ready, the overall aesthetic, including extensive carpeting and simple light fixtures, is outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current standards. There are no apparent major defects, but the property shows its age through its finishes and style.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Beachfront Location: The property is a beachfront vacation home located directly 'on the sand' within the desirable Pajaro Dunes Shorebird Development, offering unparalleled access to the beach and ocean.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents have access to a wide array of community amenities including tennis, pickleball, bird watching, surfing, fishing, and miles of beach for walking, enhancing the lifestyle and recreational value.
Turnkey Furnished Property: The unit comes fully furnished and is described as being in 'very nice condition,' providing immediate occupancy and convenience for a vacation home or rental investment.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price reduction from its original list price of $918,000 to $825,000, indicating a potentially competitive offering and motivated seller.
Proximity to Coastal Attractions: Its location offers a short drive to popular coastal destinations like Santa Cruz and Carmel, increasing its appeal as a vacation retreat or rental property.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $740.00 monthly association fee is substantial and could significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and affordability for potential buyers.
Age of Construction: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old, which may raise concerns about the condition of original building systems, potential for future maintenance, or less modern aesthetics compared to newer constructions.
Compact Living Space: With 1040 square feet, the unit offers a relatively compact living area for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
