Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Ocean & Lagoon Views: The property boasts sweeping white water ocean and San Elijo Lagoon views, offering stunning nightly sunsets and ocean breezes, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Prime Walkable Coastal Location: Situated in a prime location with excellent walkability to the lagoon trail, beach, boutique shopping, cafes, and legendary surf breaks, all just minutes away.
Versatile Floor Plan with Income Potential: Features a flexible layout including a lower-level with its own entrance, ideal for guest quarters, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.
No HOA Fees: The absence of HOA fees is a significant financial advantage, reducing ongoing ownership costs for a condominium-style property.
Modern & Bright Interior with SFH Feel: Offers an updated kitchen, open-concept great room with cathedral ceilings and expansive windows, creating a light-filled home that blends privacy with the feel of a single-family residence despite sharing one wall.

Cons

Condominium with Shared Wall: Despite its single-family home feel, it is a condominium sharing one wall, which may not appeal to buyers exclusively seeking a fully detached property.
High Price Point: With a list price of $2.77 million, the property's high price point significantly narrows the potential buyer pool.
Potential Absence of Central A/C: The description highlights 'ocean breezes' but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a drawback for some buyers, especially in warmer periods.
