Condition Rating
Poor
This 1961-built home is in need of substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen features extremely outdated wood-look cabinets, old tile countertops, and vintage appliances, requiring a complete renovation. Bathrooms are similarly outdated with old vanities, fixtures, and worn flooring. Throughout the house, there are worn hardwood floors, old tile, popcorn ceilings, dated wallpaper, and rough walls, indicating a lack of significant renovation for many decades. While the structure appears sound, major systems and all cosmetic elements require extensive updates to make the property comfortable and functional by modern standards. The listing itself states it 'would benefit from comprehensive updates' and needs 'modernization,' aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unobstructed Panoramic Views: The property offers stunning, unobstructed panoramic views of city lights, mountains, and valleys, which is a significant and rare asset at this price point.
Strong Investment Potential: This property represents a valuable opportunity for investment and equity growth, with significant potential value appreciation after modernization.
Convenient Location: The location provides convenient access to downtown San Diego, being less than 15 minutes away, enhancing its appeal for commuters.
Future Area Development: Upcoming Specific Plans for Modernization in the Casa De Oro Business District suggest positive future growth and increased desirability for the neighborhood.
Generous Bedroom Count: With five bedrooms, the property offers ample living space, suitable for larger families or providing flexibility for home offices and guest accommodations.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =0, other record lot size in square feet = 12300.
Requires Comprehensive Modernization: As a classic mid-century home built in 1961, the property explicitly states it would benefit from comprehensive updates, indicating a need for significant renovation investment.
Potential for Outdated Systems: Given its 1961 construction, the home likely features older systems and finishes that may require immediate or future replacement, adding to potential ownership costs.
Mixed School Ratings: While a high school is very close, the local middle school has a lower rating (3/10), which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
