Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1999, is 25 years old and appears to be very well-maintained by its original owner, as stated in the description. It is move-in ready with functional systems and good quality construction. However, the kitchen, while clean and equipped with stainless steel appliances, features traditional light wood cabinets, dark speckled granite countertops, and hexagonal floor tiles that reflect the style of its original build era (late 90s/early 2000s). Similarly, some bathroom fixtures, like the white plastic shower heads, appear dated, even though the tiling is in good condition. While the home boasts premium features like a wine cellar, home theater, and steam shower, the overall aesthetic in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms suggests it has not undergone a significant modern renovation within the last 15 years. It is aged but maintained, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Views: Situated on a private 12,000 sq ft lot, the property offers lovely views (Park/Greenbelt, Neighborhood, Valley, Trees/Woods) and is within minutes' walk to gorgeous sandy beaches, Seascape Resort/Golf Course, tennis, shopping, restaurants, and parks.
Exceptional Quality & Custom Features: A custom-built home by the original owner, showcasing 'True Pride of Ownership' with quality construction, high-end finishes including hardwood and porcelain tile floors, extensive built-ins, and a chef's kitchen.
Luxurious Amenities & Entertainment Spaces: Boasts a dedicated home theater with a wet bar and surround sound, an amazing wine cellar, large tiled decks with an outdoor fireplace, and meticulously maintained English gardens with stone walkways.
Spacious & Functional Layout: Over 3600 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, featuring a highly desirable layout with most living areas, a large primary suite, and a guest bedroom/bath conveniently located on the ground level.
Move-in Ready Condition & Thoughtful Details: Described as 'ready to move in condition,' with a finished 2-car garage (built-in cabinets, workbench, central vacuum), vaulted ceilings, surround sound in the living room, and a luxurious primary suite with a soaking tub and private deck.

Cons

Recent Price Reduction: The property has recently undergone a price reduction from $2.395M to $2.345M, which could suggest initial overpricing or a slower market response.
Potential for Higher Operating Costs: Given the large square footage, extensive custom features, and elaborate landscaping, ongoing utility and maintenance expenses are likely to be substantial.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning (Implied): The property description does not mention a cooling system. While Aptos enjoys a mild climate, the absence of central air conditioning could be a perceived drawback for some buyers expecting this amenity in a luxury home.
