Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1966, the home may have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite recent cosmetic remodels.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during El Cajon's hot summer months.
High Maintenance Features: The private in-ground pool and large lot (over half an acre) require ongoing maintenance, which could be a considerable time and financial commitment for homeowners.
