About this home

First time on the market in over 40 years! This charming 1950s farmhouse is rich with history and was originally the first home built on this tract of land. Once surrounded by orchards and chicken coops, it now sits within the Sunny Meadows Subdivision. The 3-bedroom house and 2-car garage are situated on one parcel, while a large garage/barn structure sits on the adjacent parcel. Both parcels are being sold together! This property is full of potential - ample outdoor space for patios, gardens, and two separate garages with abundant storage for car collections or a dream workshop - or both! Live in the existing home while building your dream house or ADU, or make this unique property your own and enjoy the expansive hobby and craft spaces it offers. Located in a wonderful neighborhood in the highly regarded Bradley Elementary, Aptos Junior High, and Aptos High School districts, this is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity you have to see to believe.

Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1950, has not undergone major renovations in over 40 years, as indicated by the listing description and visual evidence. The kitchen features highly dated tile countertops, older built-in appliances (double oven), and dated cabinetry and lighting, requiring a complete overhaul. The single bathroom is also severely outdated with 70s/80s style tile, vanity, and fixtures. While the exterior appears maintained and carpets are clean, the critical areas of the kitchen and bathroom require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards, making the property uncomfortable for contemporary living without significant investment.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Development & Expansion Potential: The property includes two parcels, one with the main house and another with a large garage/barn, offering significant potential for ADU construction, expansion, or future development.
Abundant Hobby & Storage Space: Features two separate garages, including a large garage/barn structure, ideal for car collectors, workshops, or extensive storage, catering to specialized interests.
Desirable School District: Situated within the highly-rated Bradley Elementary, Aptos Junior High, and Aptos High School districts, a major draw for families.
Historical Charm & Rarity: A charming 1950s farmhouse, on the market for the first time in over 40 years, offering unique historical character and a rare ownership opportunity.
Customization Opportunity: Described as 'full of potential,' allowing buyers to live in the existing home while undertaking renovations or building a dream home/ADU, offering significant personalization.

Cons

Age and Condition: Built in 1950, the property likely requires substantial updates, renovations, or addresses deferred maintenance, implying significant additional investment for a modern living standard.
Limited Bathroom Facilities: The 3-bedroom house features only one bathroom, which is often inadequate for contemporary family needs and may necessitate costly expansion or remodeling.
Potential Overpricing: Despite a recent price reduction, the current list price remains 8% above the estimated market value, suggesting it may still be priced aggressively relative to its current condition and market comparables.
