Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1995, this Mediterranean villa has been meticulously maintained and extensively updated, aligning with a renovation timeline of 5-15 years ago. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, custom dark wood cabinetry, and abundant granite countertops, all in excellent condition and highly functional. Bathrooms are luxurious with granite vanities, tiled showers, and soaking tubs, showing minimal wear. Rich wood plank and tumbled travertine stone flooring throughout, along with modern light fixtures and well-kept systems, indicate a move-in ready property with no immediate renovation needs. While the style of some finishes (e.g., granite pattern, dark wood cabinets) might not be the absolute latest trend, they are of high quality and contribute to a timeless, elegant aesthetic, preventing it from being 'Excellent' (which implies virtually new components meeting current cutting-edge standards).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Panoramic Views: Situated in Cardiff’s Coveted Composer District, the residence offers stunning ocean and coastline views, particularly from the primary suite's private deck, enhancing its desirability and value.
Luxurious Outdoor Living & Entertainment: The property boasts a private resort backyard featuring lush gardens, a pool/jacuzzi with waterfall features, an outdoor fireplace, a built-in BBQ kitchen, and a trellis-covered dining area, ideal for sophisticated entertaining.
Elegant Mediterranean Architecture & High-End Finishes: Showcasing an Elegant Mediterranean Villa style with Riviera-Style Ambiance, the home features timeless architectural details like stone columns, soaring ceilings, oversized crown molding, rich wood plank floors, and tumbled travertine stone.
Gourmet Kitchen & Dedicated Entertainment Spaces: The custom-designed kitchen is equipped with abundant granite countertops, glass-front cabinetry, custom hardware, and high-end appliances. Complementary entertainment areas include a Billiards/Game room with a fireplace and a temperature-controlled Wine Cellar.
Spacious & Well-Appointed Primary Suite: The expansive primary suite offers amazing ocean and coastline views from its private deck, complemented by a luxurious primary bath and a large, customized walk-in closet, providing a private retreat.

Cons

Extensive Maintenance Requirements: The property's large lot, lush gardens, pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor kitchen, while luxurious, will require significant ongoing maintenance and associated costs for upkeep.
Potential for High Operating Costs: Given the size of the home (4301 sqft), the extensive outdoor amenities including a pool and jacuzzi, and the desirable location, utility bills and overall operating costs are likely to be substantial.
Absence of Explicit Modern Energy Efficiency/Smart Home Tech: While featuring high-end finishes, the description does not highlight contemporary energy-saving features (e.g., solar, advanced insulation) or integrated smart home technology, which some buyers might expect in a luxury property built in 1995.
