Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and appears move-in ready. However, the kitchen features custom cabinetry that appears to be painted original or an older style, Corian countertops, and a mosaic tile backsplash that, while an update, doesn't align with current modern trends. The appliances, particularly the white refrigerator and dishwasher, suggest they are not recent high-end models. Bathrooms are clean and functional with features like a jetted tub, but the fixtures, tile, and vanity styles are visibly dated. While the home has been cared for and has some updated elements (like the dining room chandelier), it has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation within the last 15 years, placing it squarely in the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property offers stunning ocean, forest, bay, and hill views, significantly enhancing its desirability and market value.
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Located in the desirable Carbonera Estates, known for privacy and prestige, with excellent proximity to downtown Santa Cruz, beaches, and Hwy 17 access.
Expansive & Versatile Living Space: Boasting 4,000 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the well-planned layout offers flexible potential for multi-generational living, remote work, or guest accommodations.
Elegant Design & Quality Features: Features a grand foyer with soaring ceilings, a spacious kitchen with custom cabinetry and a center island, and a spa-inspired primary suite, reflecting timeless design and comfort.
Generous Outdoor Living: A nearly 10,000 sq ft landscaped lot with multiple outdoor zones provides ample space for dining, relaxation, and entertaining.

Cons

Dated Interior Elements: While described as elegant, the 1982 build and mention of 'Corian countertops' suggest some interior finishes may not align with current luxury trends, potentially requiring updates.
Absence of Modern System Upgrades: The description lacks details on recent major system upgrades (e.g., HVAC, windows, roof) or smart home technology, which could be expected in a property of this caliber and price point.
No Mention of Air Conditioning: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer periods.
