Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1965, making it over 20 years old. While the listing mentions 'updated new flooring,' 'new washer & dryer,' and 'new refrigerator,' and the images show a clean, functional kitchen with light wood cabinets, granite-look countertops, and a subway tile backsplash, the overall style of the kitchen and the basic bathroom updates suggest renovations that are likely 10-20 years old rather than very recent (within 5 years). The white appliances, while some are new, contribute to a less contemporary feel. The home is well-maintained and move-in ready for visible areas, but the underlying structure's age and the style of the renovations align best with the 'Fair' category, indicating an aged home maintained with regular upkeep and updates, where major components are functional but may show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Financial Advantage: The property benefits from no HOA or Mello-Roos fees, significantly reducing ongoing monthly ownership costs for buyers.
Recent Updates: Features new flooring (no carpet), a new washer, dryer, and refrigerator, providing a modern and move-in ready experience.
Development Potential: A spacious 0.17-acre lot offers ample private outdoor space and significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) expansion.
Desirable Layout & Light: An open floor plan with abundant natural light enhances the living experience and contributes to a contemporary feel.
Strategic Location & Parking: Offers convenient freeway access for easy commuting and ample parking, including a two-car garage, driveway, and street options.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1965, the property may have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Lack of Cooling System: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Chula Vista.
Pricing Discrepancy: The current listing price is slightly above the estimated market value, which may require strong justification or negotiation to attract buyers.
