Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1979, presents as move-in ready with significant and stylish updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The 'Chef's kitchen' features modern stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner gas range, granite countertops, and contemporary dark wood cabinetry. Bathrooms also show updated vanities, granite counters, and modern fixtures. Flooring includes well-maintained hardwood, clean carpeting, and tile. While not a brand-new build or a full renovation within the last 5 years, the extensive updates and high level of maintenance, coupled with desirable amenities like a pool/spa, large deck, and whole-house generator, place it firmly in the 'Good' category. Some elements, like the track lighting in the theater room, might not be cutting-edge, but the overall condition is excellent and functional.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Resort-like Amenities & Outdoor Living: The property boasts extensive resort-style amenities including an app-controlled pool/spa, a poolside full bath, a large 700 SF wraparound deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a propane-plumbed BBQ and firepit area, ideal for entertaining.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen & Edible Garden: Features a high-end chef's kitchen equipped with a 6-burner gas range, granite counters, a walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry, complemented by a productive veggie garden and over 20 fruit trees with auto irrigation for farm-to-table living.
Private & Scenic Redwood Setting with Sunlight: Situated on a private, sun-drenched lot amidst majestic redwoods, offering a peaceful retreat with forest views and starry skies, providing a unique and desirable natural environment.
Self-Sufficiency & Modern Conveniences: Includes practical and luxury features such as a whole-house generator, excellent drinking water from a private well, a dedicated theater room with a 4K UHD projector, a workshop, and ample garage storage.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Offers a perfect balance of a tranquil, wildlife-rich setting with convenient access to local amenities (Soquel Village, Capitola beaches, Santa Cruz) and major hubs (Los Gatos, San Jose Intl Airport, Monterey/Carmel).

Cons

Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions, from an original list price of $1.95M down to $1.799M, which may suggest initial overpricing or challenges in market appeal at previous price points.
Reliance on Private Utilities: The property utilizes propane for gas and a septic system for waste, which can entail higher operational costs, more frequent maintenance, and potentially less convenience compared to properties connected to municipal services.
Older Construction (1979): Despite modern updates, the home's original construction year of 1979 means some underlying systems or structural elements may be older, potentially requiring future upgrades or maintenance not covered by recent cosmetic renovations.
