Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Perfectly situated in Capitola's sought-after 'Jewel Box,' just moments from local surf breaks, Capitola Village's shops and cafes, and scenic East Cliff Drive, offering an unparalleled beachside lifestyle.
Extensive Modern Remodel: The home has been beautifully remodeled with a modern coastal charm, featuring an open-concept living/kitchen area, elegant quartz countertops, and brand-new Cafe appliances, ensuring a move-in ready experience.
Luxury Outdoor Amenities: The exterior boasts high-end features including a hot tub, sauna, built-in fire pit, outdoor shower, and low-maintenance IPE wood, artificial turf, and concrete pavers, ideal for entertaining and coastal living.

Versatile Bonus Spaces: A detached garage and a versatile bonus space provide excellent flexibility for a home office, gym, additional storage, or potential future expansion.

Cons

Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1,290 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest, which may be a consideration for buyers seeking larger homes, especially given the premium price point.
Older Original Construction: While extensively remodeled, the home's original build year of 1946 could imply potential underlying infrastructure concerns (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that may not have been fully updated beyond visible cosmetic and functional improvements.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price of $2.35 million is 5% above the estimated property value of $2.21 million, suggesting it may be priced aggressively relative to current market valuations.
