Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1972, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The 'Chef kitchen' features modern stainless steel appliances, dark granite countertops, contemporary white flat-panel cabinetry, and a stylish light blue subway tile backsplash, all appearing recently updated. Bathrooms also show modern vanities, fixtures, and finishes. The property boasts modern LVP/laminate flooring throughout, fresh paint, and updated light fixtures, including exposed beam ceilings painted white. While the visible elements are virtually new and meet current quality standards, the underlying structure's age (52 years) and lack of explicit details on major system (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) updates within the last 5 years place it firmly in the 'Good' category, rather than 'Excellent' for a fully renovated older home.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Views: The property boasts desirable ocean, river, and neighborhood views, coupled with an exceptional location just a 10-house walk to Rio Del Mar Beach and local amenities like Venus, Pixie Deli, and a local market.
Income Potential / Flexible Living: A significant asset is the cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom ADU unit above the carport, complete with a kitchen, living room, fireplace, and ocean views, offering excellent potential for guest accommodation or rental income.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: The property features a beautifully fenced outdoor space with gardening surroundings, a BBQ area, fountain, outdoor dining, and a fire pit, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Modern Chef's Kitchen: The main house includes a well-appointed chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, granite countertops, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and a pantry, catering to culinary enthusiasts.
Ample Parking & Storage: Practical benefits include a 2-car carport with two additional parking spaces, along with an outdoor storage shed and side storage for bikes and toys, providing convenience and utility.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1972, the property's age may imply older infrastructure, systems, or design elements in certain areas that could require future maintenance or updates beyond the recently updated kitchen.
Potential Energy Efficiency Concerns: While offering abundant light and views, the 'wall to wall windows' in key living areas could potentially lead to higher heating or cooling costs if not equipped with modern energy-efficient glazing, especially given the lack of explicit mention of a central cooling system.
Undefined MLS Area: The MLS area is listed as '699 - Not Defined,' which might make it less straightforward for some buyers or agents to immediately pinpoint its specific sub-market characteristics or easily compare it within a standardized geographic zone.
