Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Recent Upgrades: The property boasts a new well with drinkable water, newer septic system, newer roof, updated mechanicals, and an installed car charger, significantly reducing immediate maintenance concerns for an older home.
Unique Rural Lifestyle & Amenities: Offers a tranquil country setting with usable land, a seasonal stream, and a chicken coop with laying chickens (can convey), appealing to those seeking self-sufficiency or a hobby farm.
Income & Expansion Potential: Highlighted as perfect for AirBNB or a second home, with sufficient land to potentially add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering future income or living space expansion.
Financial Accessibility & Incentives: Qualifies for USDA zero-down grants and is VA/FHA approved, broadening the pool of potential buyers and making it more financially accessible.
Privacy & Scenic Views: Benefits from significant land separation from neighbors and offers gorgeous views from every window, ensuring a private and serene living environment.

Cons

Remote Location & Commute: Situated in Potrero, the property entails a significant commute (e.g., 1 hour to downtown San Diego, 45 minutes to 32nd St Navy base), which may not suit all buyers.
Limited Bathroom Count: The home features only one bathroom for a 2-bedroom layout, which can be a functional limitation for families or when accommodating multiple occupants or guests.
Older Construction (1955): Despite numerous recent updates, the core structure dates back to 1955, which may imply ongoing maintenance needs or less energy efficiency in areas not explicitly updated, and could deter buyers seeking newer builds.
