Condition Rating
Good

Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it outside the 'excellent' new construction/recent full renovation window. However, the description explicitly states a 'beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, designer tile, and an oversized island,' which is confirmed by the images showing modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary finishes. The 'fresh interior paint' also indicates recent upkeep. Bathrooms, while not explicitly detailed as 'remodeled,' appear well-maintained and functional with good finishes. Flooring is a mix of tile in common areas and carpet in bedrooms/office, all appearing in good condition. Overall, the property is move-in ready with significant recent updates to key areas, aligning with the 'good' criteria of being well-maintained with minimal wear and tear and major systems functional, even if not a full, top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years.

Prime Gated Community Location: Located in the coveted Westcliffe community within San Elijo Hills, offering an exclusive and desirable lifestyle with enhanced security and community appeal.
Expansive & Flexible Living Space: Boasts the largest floor plan in the community with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4100 sq/ft, soaring ceilings, and a spacious loft, providing ample room for a large family and versatile living arrangements.
Sweeping Panoramic Views: Offers breathtaking panoramic views including the ocean, coastline, city lights, canyon, and hills, significantly enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal and value.

Exceptional Outdoor Entertainment & Community Amenities: Includes a private backyard oasis with an outdoor kitchen and dining area, complemented by direct access to top-rated San Marcos schools, scenic hiking trails, community parks, and a vibrant town center.

Cons

Monthly Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $184.0, which adds to the recurring cost of homeownership.
Potential for High Property Taxes: Given the property's high value and desirable location in Southern California, annual property taxes are likely to be substantial, impacting overall affordability.
Moderate Lot Size for Home Scale: While 8531 sq/ft is a good lot size, for a 4100 sq/ft, 6-bedroom home, some buyers seeking expansive outdoor space might find the lot size to be moderate relative to the interior grandeur.
