Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1968, this property is well-maintained with desirable features like hardwood floors, skylights, and an open concept living area. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances and rustic cabinetry that, while functional, are not contemporary. The bathrooms are clean and functional with subway tile, but the vanities are basic and reflect an older style. These elements suggest the property was likely renovated 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Expansive & Versatile Acreage: The property boasts a substantial 2.85-acre lot, zoned for agriculture, and includes livestock pens, multiple outbuildings, and a private well producing 13 GPM, offering significant potential for various uses and self-sufficiency.
Detached Bonus Space: A separate detached bonus space provides excellent flexibility for a home office, guest suite, studio, or hobby area, adding significant value and functionality to the property.
Idyllic Outdoor Living: Features a serene koi pond, waterfall fountain, and an incredible flagstone patio, creating a tranquil and picturesque environment perfect for enjoying nature views and outdoor entertaining.
Convenient Yet Private Location: The property offers a desirable blend of privacy and accessibility, being minutes away from Aptos Village, Nisene Marks trails, Rio Del Mar Beach, and Highway 1.
Well-Appointed Interior Features: The single-level home features an open concept floor plan, hardwood floors, a primary suite with exterior access, a library, pantry, and ample skylights for abundant natural light.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1968, the home may require updates to its systems or aesthetics to align with modern buyer preferences, potentially incurring additional renovation costs.
Recent Price Reduction & Market Time: A notable price reduction from $1.375M to $1.25M and 68 days on market could indicate initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyer interest, suggesting a need for careful market analysis.
Modest Home Size for Acreage: With 1532 sqft on a substantial 2.85-acre lot, the main residence might be considered modest in size by some buyers seeking a larger primary home to match the expansive property, potentially limiting appeal to those desiring more living space.
