Extensive Recent Remodel: Recently remodeled with premium vinyl floors, newer cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances, and fresh paint inside/out, providing a modern, move-in ready condition.

Versatile Use & Commuter Appeal: Suitable as both an investment property or a full-time home, with strong appeal for Silicon Valley commuters seeking a coastal retreat.

Cons

Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 1176, living area = 836.
Limited Living Space: With only 836 square feet, the property offers relatively small living quarters, which may not suit buyers needing more space or larger families.
Single Bathroom: The presence of only one bathroom for two bedrooms can be a functional limitation and inconvenience for multiple occupants or guests.
Age of Construction: Built in 1964, despite recent remodels, the underlying structure and potentially some core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) may be older, which could lead to future maintenance considerations.
