Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features original or very early 80s-style dark wood cabinets, white tile countertops, and dated white appliances (coil-top range, built-in oven/microwave). Light fixtures, popcorn ceilings, and carpeting throughout also indicate a lack of modern updates. While functional and clean, the home requires minor updates and cosmetic renovations, particularly in the kitchen and likely bathrooms (not pictured), to meet current buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Positioned between Discovery Hills and Lake San Marcos, offering convenient access to shopping, parks, and recreational activities.
Desirable Interior Ambiance: Features a bright and airy interior with a huge skylight, vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, central A/C, and elegant French doors.
Robust Community Amenities: Residents benefit from access to a tennis court, swimming pool, and spa, providing resort-style living options.
Top-Rated School District: Located within a highly-rated school district, including Discovery Elementary (8), San Elijo Middle (8), and San Marcos High (7).
Functional Outdoor & Parking: Includes both front and rear patio areas for private outdoor enjoyment, along with a practical two-car attached garage.
Cons
Significant Monthly HOA Fees: The $470 monthly association fee adds a substantial recurring cost to homeownership.
Property Age: Built in 1980, the home is over four decades old, which may necessitate future maintenance or updates to older systems and finishes.
Compact Living Space: With 1,137 square feet, the property offers a relatively modest footprint, potentially limiting appeal for buyers desiring more expansive living areas.
