About this home

Welcome to 1145 Tower Place, a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offering 2,300 sq. ft. of living space with an attached 2-car garage in central Vista. Originally built in 1961, the home was extensively expanded and renovated from it's original size of ~900 square feet in 1997–1998, giving it the feel of a much newer residence than the original date of construction suggests. All living areas are conveniently located on the upper level, creating the ease of single-story living (steps are required to get to the main living area). The floor plan features a large family/living room with a cozy fireplace that provides warmth and ambiance, and direct access to an expansive 31’x17’ deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing while enjoying southwest views and glimpses of the coast on clear days. The oversized dining room accommodates large gatherings, while the kitchen provides abundant cabinetry and counter space with updated appliances including a newer refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven. The primary suite is truly impressive at ~850 sq. ft., with a newer sliding door to the deck, dual-sink bath, and walk-in closet. One additional bedroom is nearby, while the other two are located on the opposite side of the home for maximum privacy. Major upgrades include a full roof replacement with skylights in 2024, newer dual-paned windows and sliders (2018–2024), modern HVAC ducting, and a rebuilt deck (2020). The home also offers a 2-car garage with added storage, two extra storage closets, and a large entry-level bonus/storage room (approx. 1-car garage size). Additional storage is found under the deck and throughout the property. The backyard is framed by beautiful native boulders, and the wide driveway provides multiple parking spaces in addition to the garage. Located on a private road off a cul-de-sac, the setting is peaceful and low-traffic yet highly convenient—just minutes to freeways, shopping, dining, and North County attractions. With its spacious layout, convenient updates, abundant storage, and central location, this home offers both comfort and lifestyle at a very affordable price point.

While the property boasts significant recent upgrades such as a new roof (2024), newer dual-paned windows/sliders (2018-2024), modern HVAC ducting, and a rebuilt deck (2020), the core cosmetic elements of the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, reflect the 1997-1998 renovation. The kitchen features dated white cabinetry, tile countertops, tile flooring, and an outdated fluorescent ceiling light panel. The primary bathroom also shows its age with dated wood vanities, tile countertops, brass-toned light fixtures, and carpet flooring in the vanity area, which is generally undesirable. The overall aesthetic is functional and well-maintained but clearly from the 90s/early 2000s, requiring minor cosmetic updates to align with current styles and preferences. The recent major system updates prevent it from being 'Poor', but the dated interior finishes keep it from reaching 'Good' despite being move-in ready.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modernization & Recent Upgrades: The property underwent significant expansion and renovation in 1997-1998, giving it a contemporary feel, complemented by major recent upgrades including a 2024 roof, newer dual-paned windows/sliders (2018-2024), modern HVAC ducting, and a 2020 rebuilt deck.
Spacious & Functional Layout: Boasts 2,300 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, featuring an impressive ~850 sq. ft. primary suite, and offers the convenience of single-story living on the upper level.
Abundant Storage & Parking: Provides ample storage solutions with a 2-car garage, additional storage closets, a large entry-level bonus/storage room, under-deck storage, and a wide driveway accommodating multiple vehicles.
Private & Convenient Location with Views: Situated on a private road off a cul-de-sac, ensuring peace and low traffic, while remaining minutes from freeways, shopping, and dining, and offering southwest views with coastal glimpses.
Strong Value Proposition: Listed at $849,000, significantly below its estimated value of $954,738.01, presenting an attractive investment opportunity at an affordable price point.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Despite extensive renovations, the home's 1961 original build year may raise concerns regarding the age of unmentioned foundational systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond HVAC), potentially requiring future investment.
Accessibility Limitations: The requirement of steps to access the main living area, despite the upper level offering single-story living, could be a barrier for buyers with mobility challenges or those seeking true step-free access.
Unspecified Cooling System: While modern HVAC ducting is mentioned, the absence of explicit confirmation regarding an air conditioning unit could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in California.
