The property, built in 1968, is well-maintained with several significant functional upgrades such as central air conditioning, dual-pane windows, and an owned solar system. The interior walls have been freshly painted, and some areas feature granite counters and Berber carpet. However, the kitchen, while functional with granite countertops, features older wood cabinetry and dated white built-in appliances (oven, microwave), which do not align with current quality standards. While one bathroom shower appears updated, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and the presence of carpet in living areas suggest that while the home has been cared for and updated over time, it has not undergone a full, extensive renovation within the last 15 years. It is move-in ready but requires minor updates to modernize key areas like the kitchen and potentially replace some flooring to meet contemporary tastes.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & School Access: Situated in the highly sought-after Suburbia neighborhood, offering walking distance to the well-regarded Poinsettia Elementary School, enhancing family appeal.
Exceptional Privacy & Outdoor Living: Features an expansive, private lot with no rear neighbors, complemented by low-maintenance artificial turf and a private patio with pergola for outdoor enjoyment.
Energy Efficiency & Modern Comforts: Equipped with an owned solar system, central air conditioning, and dual-pane windows, enhancing comfort and reducing long-term utility costs.
Spacious & Flexible Single-Level Layout: Offers nearly 2,200 sq. ft. of single-level living space, including 4 bedrooms (originally 5), 3 bathrooms, and multiple distinct living areas for versatile use.
Desirable Views & Recent Updates: Provides partial ocean and city lights views on clear days, alongside a freshly painted interior, contributing to a pleasant aesthetic and move-in readiness.

Cons

Seller Motivation & Price History: The 'Motivated Seller' status and multiple price reductions indicate potential market resistance or initial overpricing, suggesting a need for competitive positioning.
Potential for Further Modernization: While updated, the 1968 build and description as an 'extraordinary canvas' imply that some elements may still require personalization or more significant modern updates to appeal to all buyers.
Limited View Impact: The 'Partial ocean view on clear days' and 'Peek-A-Boo' description indicates a less prominent or consistent ocean view compared to properties with full, unobstructed panoramic vistas.
