Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1949, this property is exceptionally well-maintained for its age and boasts stunning ocean views. While move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms, though clean and functional, feature styles and appliances (e.g., white built-in appliances, dark speckled granite, white square tile backsplash in the kitchen; generic white vanities and subway tile in bathrooms) that suggest renovations were completed approximately 15-25 years ago. The patterned tile flooring in the main living areas also contributes to an outdated aesthetic. These elements, while in good condition, would require cosmetic updates to align with current market trends and preferences, placing the property in the 'Fair' category rather than 'Good' which implies more recent renovations (within 5-15 years).
Pros & Cons

Prime Coastal Location: Perched on the iconic Opal Cliff, overlooking the world-renowned Hook surf spot, and situated in the heart of Santa Cruz County's vibrant coastal community, offering unparalleled access to local amenities.
Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Features breathtaking panoramic views of Monterey Bay from multiple vantage points, including two expansive patios, enhancing its luxury appeal.
Generous Double Lot: Boasts a substantial 17,000+ square foot double lot, set far back from the cliff, providing ample space, privacy, and potential for further development or landscaping.
Spacious & Well-Appointed Interior: Offers 2,325 square feet of well-designed living space with large rooms, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, a sunroom filled with natural light, a stylish bar area, and multiple gathering spaces.
Strong Investment Potential: Explicitly highlighted for its potential as a vacation rental or for fractional ownership, indicating a strong income-generating or investment opportunity in a highly desirable area.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1949, the property's age may imply older infrastructure, systems, and potential for deferred maintenance or the need for significant updates to meet modern standards.
Lack of Specific Modern Updates: While described as 'well-designed,' the listing does not detail recent major renovations or modern system upgrades (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing), which could be a concern for a property at this price point.
High Price Point: With a list price of $11.499 million, the property targets a very niche market, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers and extending time on market.
