Stunning panoramic views set this Bay Park home apart from the rest! Single level gem on the hillside affording stunning bay and ocean views which are likely unobstructable (State Legislature and City Council trying to allow for monster structures in residential neighborhoods). Don't let this one get away!

Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this property is well-maintained but shows signs of age and outdated styles in key areas. The kitchen features traditional dark wood cabinetry and dark countertops, though appliances appear to be updated stainless steel. The bathroom exhibits older small square tiling in the shower and a functional but dated light fixture. While clean and functional, the aesthetic suggests renovations that are 15-25 years old rather than recent, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated major components.
