Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1948, this home appears well-maintained with good hardwood floors and fresh paint in living areas. However, the bathroom is significantly outdated with older fixtures, vanity, and tile, suggesting renovations (if any) occurred 15-30+ years ago. The absence of kitchen images implies it is likely also dated. The property is functional and livable but requires minor updates to key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the desirable Upper Westside Santa Cruz, offering excellent walkability to the beach, Farmers Market, and Meder St Park, a highly sought-after attribute.
Generous Lot Size: Boasts an expansive 11,674 square foot lot, providing ample space for outdoor living, landscaping, and privacy, which is a significant asset in this area.
Development Potential: The large lot offers endless possibilities for future enhancements, including room for a pool, extensive gardens, or potential home expansion/ADU, adding long-term value.
Family-Friendly Configuration: With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home provides a practical layout for families, complemented by its location within the Santa Cruz City Elementary School District.
Natural Light: The description highlights that 'Sunshine illuminates throughout,' indicating a bright and inviting interior ambiance.
Cons
Age and Potential for Updates: Built in 1948, the property's age suggests that significant renovations or modernization may be required to meet contemporary buyer preferences and standards, especially given the premium price point.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1535 square feet for a 4-bedroom home, the interior living space might be considered relatively compact by some prospective buyers, particularly when compared to the high list price.
Unspecified Interior Condition: The listing description focuses heavily on the location and lot, but provides no details on recent interior upgrades or amenities, implying potential for substantial investment in interior improvements.
