Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2004, this townhome is 20 years old but presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features granite counters, a large island, and custom lighting, appearing well-maintained and functional, though appliances are black rather than modern stainless steel. Bathrooms are clean and functional with travertine stone and dual sinks in the primary, but the overall style is more basic than high-end. High-quality bamboo and hardwood flooring throughout, central A/C, and upgraded plantation shutters contribute to its good condition. The property shows minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a well-maintained home within its expected lifespan.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Walkable Location: Situated in the heart of San Marcos' Village Square at San Elijo Hills, offering a highly desirable walkable lifestyle with San Elijo Park, shopping, dining, and coffee shops directly across the street.
Modern & Upgraded Interior: Features a modern open layout, a sizable kitchen with granite counters, a large island, crown molding, custom lighting, and upgraded plantation shutters throughout, enhancing both style and energy efficiency.
Quality Flooring & Finishes: Boasts warm, sustainable bamboo flooring on lower and main levels, travertine stone in bathrooms, and hardwood floors on the third level, indicating high-quality and durable materials.
Desirable Views & Community Access: Offers unobstructed views of San Elijo Park and surrounding hills from every window, with easy access to miles of trails, parks, and community events.
Practical Amenities & Flexible Space: Includes central A/C, full-size laundry with newer washer/dryer, a private attached two-car tandem garage with epoxy floors and extra storage, plus a flexible den/office that can serve as a third bedroom.

Cons

Tri-Level Layout: The tri-level design may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-story living or with mobility concerns due to multiple staircases.
Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $383.0 adds to the recurring cost of homeownership, which may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.
Tandem Garage: While offering two-car parking, the tandem garage configuration can be less convenient for daily vehicle access compared to a side-by-side layout.
