Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1949, this home has clearly undergone significant and thoughtful renovations, presenting as meticulously maintained and move-in ready. The hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout. The kitchen features white beadboard cabinets, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, which, while not ultra-modern, are clean, functional, and well-maintained. The bathrooms are also clean and functional, though one features a distinct yellow geometric tile that, while in good condition, might be considered a specific style choice from an earlier renovation period (likely 5-15 years ago). Overall, the property exhibits 'modern comfort' and 'timeless character' as described, with systems and finishes that are well-maintained and require no immediate updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Coastal Location: The property is located 'just steps from the sand' in the highly desirable Balboa Peninsula Point, offering prime beach access and a coveted coastal lifestyle.
Well-Maintained Condition: Described as 'meticulously maintained' with 'timeless character,' indicating the home has been well-cared for and preserves its classic charm.
Inviting Indoor-Outdoor Living: Features both a charming front patio and a private brick patio, providing excellent spaces for relaxation and enjoying the ocean breeze.
Desirable Interior Features: Boasts a spacious living room with a cozy brick fireplace and beautiful hardwood floors, enhancing the home's comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Functional Layout & Convenience: Offers a practical 4-bedroom, 3-bath layout, a generous primary suite with abundant natural light, and an attached garage for added convenience.
Cons
Significant Price Discrepancy: The current listing price of $4.295M is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $3.68M, suggesting potential overpricing or a valuation mismatch.
Limited Ocean View: The property offers only a 'peek-a-boo view of the Pacific,' which is not a full or expansive ocean view, potentially limiting its appeal for buyers seeking unobstructed coastal vistas.
Age of Construction: Built in 1949, despite being meticulously maintained, the home may have older systems or infrastructure that could require future updates or significant capital expenditure to meet modern standards.
