Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1984, has undergone significant recent updates, including a full repipe in 2023, an updated electrical panel, and central A/C, which are major system renovations. The interior features luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas and clean, functional bathrooms with LVP. The kitchen has been refreshed with painted gray cabinets, wood-look laminate countertops, and modern black appliances, making it move-in ready. While not a full high-end renovation, these extensive updates to critical systems and cosmetic elements elevate its condition beyond 'Fair' and align well with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5-15 years for key components and being move-in ready with no immediate renovation required.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Upgrades: The property boasts significant recent updates including a full repipe in 2023, an updated electrical panel, and central A/C, ensuring modern comfort and reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Appealing Interior Design: Features such as soaring vaulted ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a bright, open floor plan contribute to an enhanced aesthetic and a spacious feel throughout the home.
Private Outdoor Retreat: A private courtyard offers a dedicated and secluded space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining, adding valuable amenity for condominium living.
Desirable West Escondido Location: Situated in a highly sought-after, quiet, convenient, and established community in West Escondido, contributing to strong neighborhood appeal and potential long-term value.
Convenience & Low-Maintenance Living: Practical amenities like inside laundry and an attached garage, combined with the inherent benefits of low-maintenance condominium living, offer significant everyday convenience.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $612.0 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a significant factor for budget-conscious buyers, impacting the overall affordability and monthly housing costs.
Condominium Ownership Restrictions: As a condominium, potential buyers may encounter HOA rules, shared wall considerations, and less autonomy over property modifications compared to single-family homes.
Compact Living Space: With 950 sqft for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, the property offers a relatively compact living area, which might not suit buyers seeking more expansive space or growing families.
