Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the 10-20 year range for a 'Good' score based on age alone. However, the property benefits from significant updates including hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, dual-pane windows, central AC, and an 8 kW solar system, which are all modern and well-maintained features. The kitchen, while clean and functional, features dated white appliances (electric range, refrigerator) and basic white countertops/cabinets, along with track lighting, indicating it has not undergone a recent modern renovation. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional with tastefully tiled walls, but the tile style (e.g., beige square tiles) appears dated from the early 2000s. Despite these aesthetic elements in the kitchen and bathrooms, the overall property is move-in ready, well-maintained, and its major systems are functional and updated, preventing it from falling into the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

VA Assumable Loan: A highly attractive VA assumable loan at 2.75% is available on approved credit, offering a significant financial advantage in the current market.
Exceptional Multi-Family/Income Potential: Designed for flexible multi-family living with separate entrances for two distinct units (2BR/2BA and 3BR/2BA) and potential for a converted garage as an ADU or studio, maximizing rental income opportunities.
Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Offers stunning 270° panoramic views encompassing Sweetwater Reservoir, Mount Miguel, the Pacific Ocean, and the Coronado Islands, enhancing property value and lifestyle.
Energy-Efficient & Modern Amenities: Equipped with an 8 kW solar system, dual-pane windows, hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring, and updated bathrooms, contributing to lower utility costs and contemporary comfort.
No HOA or Mello-Roos Fees: The absence of HOA or Mello-Roos fees provides significant long-term savings and reduces the overall cost of homeownership.

Cons

Unrealized ADU Potential: The converted garage is noted for 'potential use... as an ADU' and 'further ADU conversion possibilities,' indicating it is not a fully permitted or legal ADU, requiring additional investment and regulatory steps to maximize its income potential.
Hillside Property Access & Maintenance: As a 'custom-built hillside estate' with a 'private driveway with scenic ascent,' access may be steep or challenging for some vehicles or individuals, and hillside properties often incur higher maintenance costs for retaining walls or specialized landscaping.
Partial AC Solution: The description mentions 'central and portable AC and heating,' which could imply that the central air conditioning system may not fully cover all areas, or that some spaces rely on less efficient portable units, potentially impacting overall comfort.
