Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1979, this property is 45 years old and shows its age. The listing description explicitly states it's a 'great opportunity to update,' which aligns with a 'fair' condition. The kitchen features dated dark wood cabinets, older-style countertops, and functional but not modern appliances. The bathrooms have dated shower enclosures and light fixtures, despite some minor updates like a vessel sink. Flooring consists of older tile and carpet. While the home appears maintained and functional, major components are outdated and require significant renovation to meet current quality standards and aesthetics.

Unrivaled Coastal Location: Situated directly on the bluff overlooking Sand Dollar Beach in a quiet, exclusive community, offering a rare and highly sought-after beachfront position.
Panoramic Ocean Views & Direct Beach Access: Boasts expansive surf, sand, and ocean views with convenient stairs providing direct access to the beach, approximately 100 yards away.
Expansive & Developable Lot: A substantial 0.77-acre (33,672 sqft) parcel, offering ample space for significant expansion, landscaping, or adding amenities like an ADU, pool, or tennis court.
Exclusive & Private Setting: Located within a private, gated, and quiet beach community, ensuring a high degree of privacy and tranquility.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Presents a unique opportunity for a buyer to update and customize, transforming it into a personalized dream beach home, thereby increasing its intrinsic and market value.
Cons
Dated Condition & Renovation Required: Built in 1979, the property likely requires extensive updating and renovation to meet modern luxury standards, as suggested by the listing's 'opportunity to update' phrasing.
Substantial Investment Beyond Purchase Price: The need for significant updating implies considerable additional financial investment for renovations, which is not included in the high list price.
Potential for Coastal Erosion/Bluff Stability Concerns: As a property located on a bluff overlooking the ocean, there is an inherent potential for coastal erosion and bluff stability concerns, requiring thorough due diligence.
