Built in 1971, this home is well-maintained and appears functional, as described. However, the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features dated white tile countertops, flat-panel cabinets with star-shaped knobs, and older white appliances. Bathrooms also show older tile and fixtures. The wood paneling on walls and ceilings, along with the carpeted floors throughout, are consistent with the home's age and suggest no major modern renovations have occurred in recent decades. While clean, it requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Gated Community: Situated in the exclusive Pajaro Dunes, offering a serene coastal retreat between Santa Cruz and Monterey with direct beach access and a secure, private environment.
Exceptional Condition & Pride of Ownership: Lovingly maintained by the same family for decades and never used as a rental, ensuring pristine condition and reflecting significant pride of ownership.
Strong Indoor-Outdoor Flow & Amenities: Features an open floor plan, high ceilings, multiple private patios, and a hot tub, creating an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining.
Extensive Community Lifestyle Amenities: Access to a wealth of recreational activities including bird watching, miles of beach, volleyball, and tennis courts, catering to an active coastal lifestyle.
Investment Potential & Flexibility: The absence of a vacation rental permit requirement makes this property highly versatile, suitable as a personal escape or a lucrative investment.

Cons

High Association Fees: The substantial association fee of $1827.0 (likely monthly or quarterly) significantly increases the overall cost of ownership.
Limited Interior Space: With only 1014 square feet, the home offers relatively compact living spaces, which may not suit buyers seeking larger residences, especially given the premium price point.
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1971, while described as well-maintained, the property's age may imply that some systems or finishes could eventually require updating to meet modern preferences or standards.
