Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1994, this property is 30 years old. While it boasts high-end appliances (Viking, Sub-Zero) and quality materials like granite and marble counters, and stone flooring, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, tile choices, and light fixtures appears dated, likely reflecting a renovation or design from 15-25 years ago. The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but the interior style is not contemporary and would likely require cosmetic updates to meet current luxury standards, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. This aligns with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unrivaled Oceanfront Location & Views: Directly on the sand in Carlsbad, this penthouse offers unobstructed white water views and a coastal panorama from its private oceanfront balcony, providing a premier beachfront living experience.
Exclusive Penthouse Living: Spanning the entire top floor of the south tower with a single-level layout, this residence offers exceptional privacy and exclusivity, characteristic of a premier oceanfront penthouse.
High-End Interior Finishes & Appliances: Boasting professional interior design, custom wood beamed vaulted ceilings, stone flooring, marble master counters, and a gourmet kitchen equipped with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, the property exudes luxury.
Unique Beach-Level 'Beach Room': A separate, spacious (200-250 sq ft) beachfront 'storage' unit has been charmingly upgraded into a beach room with full ocean views and direct beach access, adding significant value and utility.
Prime Village Walkability & Amenities: Perfectly positioned in the heart of Carlsbad Village, residents enjoy immediate access to boutiques, dining, and a walkable seaside community, complemented by modern amenities like air conditioning, tankless hot water, and ample parking (attached garage + dedicated space).

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial monthly association fee of $1,033.33 represents a significant ongoing cost that potential buyers must factor into their budget.
Condominium Restrictions & Shared Living: As a condominium, the property is subject to HOA rules and regulations, and despite its penthouse status, it involves shared common areas and potential for noise from neighbors or community activities, limiting individual autonomy.
Potential for Future HOA Assessments: Given the building's age (1994) and its oceanfront exposure to harsh elements, there is a potential for future special assessments for major repairs or upgrades to common elements, which could incur additional costs for owners.
