Breathtaking Panoramic Ocean Views: Enjoys stunning, unobstructed ocean views and spectacular sunsets over Monterey Bay from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and backyard oasis.

Private Outdoor Spaces: Features both an enclosed front courtyard for privacy and a backyard oasis designed for entertaining, both maximizing the oceanfront setting.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1953, the property's age may imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that could require significant updates or maintenance, which are not explicitly detailed as having been recently renovated.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a notable price reduction from its original list price of $4.395M to $3.995M, which could suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially impacting buyer perception of value.
Limited Specific Renovation Details: While described as having an 'open layout,' the listing lacks specific details on recent high-value renovations to key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or major systems, which luxury buyers often expect in a property of this age and price point.
