Built in 1971, this property has received recent cosmetic updates including new carpet and paint, and a new roof, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances, older style cabinets, and laminate/tile countertops, indicating it has not undergone a major renovation in many years. While functional, these areas, and likely the bathroom (no images provided, but inferred from property age and kitchen condition), show signs of being outdated and would require substantial updates to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. The property is well-maintained but requires minor to moderate updates to key areas.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated in the heart of Capitola, offering immediate access to beaches, surfing, restaurants, shopping, and walkable to Whole Foods, embodying the quintessential coastal lifestyle.
Excellent Community Amenities: The Capitola Shores community provides a wonderful pool, patio tables, and a green belt, enhancing the living experience.
Recent Updates & Maintenance: The condo features new carpet, paint, Nest control, and a new roof, indicating recent investments in cosmetic appeal and structural integrity.
Proximity to Parks & Recreation: A short stroll leads to Jade Street Park, offering sports fields, a kids' playground, and dog-friendly spaces, along with quick access to Prospect Ave Vista Point overlooking Capitola Wharf.
Future Reduced HOA & Included Utilities: HOA dues are scheduled to drop to $545 starting January 1, 2026, and water is included, offering future cost savings for the owner.

Cons

Compact Living Space: With 850 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit, the living space is relatively compact, which may limit flexibility for larger households or extensive entertaining.
Current High HOA Dues: The current HOA fee of $689 per month is substantial, even with a planned reduction in 2026, and could be a significant ongoing cost for buyers.
Older Building Age & Potential for Further Updates: Built in 1971, while some cosmetic updates are noted, the property's age suggests potential for future investment in major systems or full kitchen/bathroom renovations to modernize fully.
