Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1949, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer' and the images confirm significant deferred maintenance. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, an old refrigerator, and mixed appliances, requiring a complete overhaul. Other interior images show visible wall damage, peeling paint, and outdated finishes, indicating substantial repairs and rehabilitation are needed throughout the home. While not explicitly stated as unlivable, the condition suggests it would be very uncomfortable and potentially unsafe in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in one of Santa Cruz's most desirable areas, less than a mile from Pleasure Point, Moran Lake Beach, and various local amenities, offering an exceptional lifestyle.
ADU/JADU Development Potential: County regulations allow for the addition of one Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and one Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU), providing significant income or expansion opportunities.
Large Lot Size: The property boasts a generous 6,882 sqft lot, offering ample space for potential expansion, landscaping, or outdoor living enhancements.
Versatile Layout: Although officially a 1-bedroom, the property includes 3 additional built-on rooms, providing greater versatility and more usable square footage for various needs.
High Investment Potential: Described as 'full of potential' and an 'amazing opportunity,' this property is ideal for buyers looking to create their dream home and capitalize on future value appreciation through renovation.
Cons
Fixer-Upper Condition: The house is explicitly stated as a 'fixer,' indicating it requires significant renovation and investment to modernize and improve its condition.
Low Official Bedroom Count: The tax roll officially lists the home as a 1-bedroom, which may impact financing, appraisal, or perceived value despite the presence of additional rooms.
Age of Property: Built in 1949, the property is an older home, which typically implies a need for updates to major systems, infrastructure, and aesthetics to meet contemporary standards.
