Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1978, this property is over 40 years old. While the location and views are exceptional, the interior, particularly the kitchen, is significantly dated. The kitchen features older light wood cabinets, dark granite countertops, and multi-colored slate flooring, all indicative of a renovation from 15-25 years ago, or even older. The bold, non-neutral paint colors throughout (bright blue living room, fuchsia kitchen) further emphasize the need for a complete cosmetic overhaul. The description explicitly states the property 'awaits a creative owner to transform it into a personalized masterpiece,' which strongly suggests it requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current standards and buyer expectations, rather than just minor updates. The absence of bathroom images also raises concerns that these areas are likely in a similar, dated condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Panoramic Views: Situated in a desirable coastal community overlooking Torrey Pines State Beach and Natural Reserve, offering breathtaking panoramic views.
Expansive & Private 3.7-Acre Estate: A rare, private 3.7-acre oasis providing exceptional space and exclusivity, unmatched in Carmel Valley.
Significant Development & Customization Potential: Explicitly marketed as an opportunity for a creative owner to transform it into a personalized masterpiece, indicating vast potential for renovation, expansion, or redevelopment.
Versatile Multi-Structure Property: Features a 3,600 sq ft main residence, three garages, and an additional 988 sq ft bedroom/den above the garage, offering flexible living or guest accommodation options.
Access to Elite Amenities & Schools: Benefits from easy access to world-class beaches, top-rated public schools (multiple 9-10 ratings), and upscale shopping and dining.

Cons

Requires Extensive Renovation/Investment: The property, built in 1978 and described as awaiting transformation, will likely require substantial capital investment for modernization and upgrades to meet contemporary luxury standards.
Dated Condition Implied: The age of the property (1978) and the call for a 'creative owner to transform it' strongly suggest that the existing structures are dated and not move-in ready for a luxury buyer without significant work.
High Entry Price for 'Potential': The $4.99M list price is a premium for a property that requires extensive renovation, meaning the total investment will be considerably higher, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
