Built in 1962, this duplex shows its age. The kitchen, a key area, features highly outdated white flat-panel cabinets, dated black hardware, white square tile backsplash, and older black appliances (range/oven, hood). The countertops also appear dated. While functional, the kitchen requires a full renovation to meet current aesthetic and quality standards. Hardwood floors in living areas show wear, and bedroom carpets appear older. The overall style, including vaulted wood-paneled ceilings with exposed beams, is consistent with its original build era and has not been significantly updated. The property is maintained but clearly needs substantial cosmetic updates throughout, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (not pictured but inferred from kitchen condition).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated in Aptos' coveted Rio Del Mar neighborhood, offering a short stroll to beaches, local cafes, boutique shopping, and recreational parks, embodying a desirable beachside lifestyle.
Income-Generating Duplex: A rare duplex configuration with strong rental income potential, making it an ideal asset for investors or suitable for multi-generational living arrangements.
Versatile Unit Layouts: Features two distinct units (2-bed/1-bath and 1-bed/1-bath) each with private entrances and outdoor spaces (balcony, sunny side yard), providing flexibility and privacy.
Convenient Accessibility: Offers quick access to Highway 1, facilitating easy commutes to Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Bay, alongside proximity to The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park.
Charming Interior Features: The upstairs unit benefits from vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a private balcony, enhancing its appeal and livability.

Cons

History of Price Reductions: Multiple significant price drops from the original listing price indicate potential initial overpricing or market resistance, which could affect perceived value.
Older Construction & Compact Lot: Built in 1962, the property is over 60 years old, and the 2,875 sqft lot size is relatively small for a duplex, limiting outdoor space and potential for expansion.
Limited Individual Unit Space: With a total of 1400 sqft for two units, the individual living spaces are relatively compact, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
