Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1990, this condo is well-maintained and appears clean throughout, with 'newer carpet' as noted in the description. However, the kitchen features original-style light wood cabinets, white tile countertops, and white appliances, which are functional but significantly dated. Similarly, the bathrooms exhibit a 1990s aesthetic with light wood vanities and tile work. While move-in ready, the property has not undergone extensive modern renovations and would benefit from cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Tierrasanta Location & Accessibility: Situated in the highly desirable Tierrasanta neighborhood, offering excellent freeway access (52), close proximity to shopping, dining, and direct access to Mission Trails for outdoor activities.
Exclusive Private Garage Access: A rare and highly convenient feature for a condominium, providing a private 1-car garage with direct unit access for enhanced security and storage.
Bright & Spacious Open-Concept Living: Boasts vaulted ceilings, large windows, and an open-concept layout, creating an airy, light-filled ambiance, complemented by a cozy gas fireplace.
Resort-Style Community Amenities & Natural Views: Set within a secluded, beautifully landscaped community featuring a well-maintained pool, spa, and a private balcony offering tranquil views under mature trees, plus broader City Lights, Hills, and Neighborhood views.
Thoughtful Layout & Upgraded Comforts: Includes an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, an adjacent laundry room, abundant storage, and newer carpet for immediate comfort.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The $500 monthly HOA fee is substantial and could be a deterrent for some buyers, significantly increasing the overall cost of homeownership.
Potential for Dated Interiors/Systems: While 'newer carpet' is mentioned, the property was built in 1990 and the description doesn't highlight recent kitchen or bathroom renovations, suggesting some original finishes or systems may require future updates.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer months in San Diego, potentially requiring the installation of window units or a mini-split system.
