Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1965, has clearly undergone significant renovations, particularly in the kitchen which features modern white cabinetry, high-end Viking appliances, and contemporary finishes. Many living areas and bedrooms also appear updated with modern flooring and tasteful decor. However, some bathrooms, like the one with the white tile countertop and dark green trim, show an older, more dated style, suggesting that not all areas have been extensively renovated to the same modern standard or within the last 5 years. While move-in ready and well-maintained, these few dated elements prevent it from being classified as 'Excellent' (fully renovated recently, within 5 years). It fits 'Good' as it's move-in ready with well-maintained systems and some updated components, but not a full recent renovation throughout.

High Coastal Maintenance Demands: As a beachfront property, it is inherently exposed to harsh coastal elements, likely necessitating higher ongoing maintenance and repair costs to preserve its condition.
