The main home features a comfortable layout with abundant natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the expansive backyard—perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1960, is well-maintained with original hardwood floors in some areas. However, the main home's kitchen features dated wood cabinetry, black appliances, and older countertops, indicating it has not been significantly updated in over 20-30 years. One bathroom also shows signs of an older renovation with a dated shower enclosure. While some bathrooms (likely in the ADU/JADU) appear more recently updated with modern tile and fixtures, the primary living spaces, particularly the kitchen, are functional but significantly outdated and would require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic standards. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, where the home is aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income & Living Flexibility: The property features a main home, a fully operational ADU with proven short-term rental income, and a flexible JADU, offering unparalleled income generation, multi-generational living, or house hacking opportunities.
Premier Coastal Carlsbad Location: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, just minutes from Carlsbad's renowned beaches, Carlsbad Village, and top-rated schools, providing a highly desirable lifestyle.
Spacious Outdoor Living: An expansive backyard with seamless indoor-outdoor flow creates an ideal environment for entertaining and relaxation.
Charming & Updated Main Home: The main residence retains classic character with original hardwood floors while benefiting from updated bathrooms, offering a blend of vintage appeal and modern comfort.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 10,890 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for further landscaping or expansion.

Cons

Age of Main Structure: Built in 1960, the main home may have original systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Standard Neighborhood View: While the property has a view, it is described as 'Neighborhood,' lacking the premium ocean or panoramic vistas that often command higher values in coastal Carlsbad.
Management Complexity: Operating multiple units (main home, ADU, JADU), especially with a short-term rental component, can introduce significant management complexities and time commitment for the owner.
