Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1986, this property is 38 years old. While the description suggests it's a 'charming gem' with central AC/heating and a pool/spa, the lack of interior images, particularly for the kitchen and bathrooms, is a significant limitation. The property analysis explicitly notes 'Potential for Modernization' and 'Age of Major Systems,' indicating that interior elements (kitchen, bathrooms, finishes) may be original or dated and major systems could be nearing the end of their lifespan. The phrase 'crafting your dream space' further implies that significant updates and personalization will be required. Therefore, the property is likely well-maintained but requires minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Community Amenities: Nestled in Rancho Bernardo's sought-after Bernardo Heights Community, offering a low HOA fee ($98) and access to extensive amenities including a clubhouse with fitness facilities, pools, tennis/pickleball courts, and recreational areas like Lucido Park.
Top-Rated School District: Located within the highly desirable Poway Unified School District, featuring top-rated schools like Rancho Bernardo High School (9/10) and Bernardo Heights Middle School (8/10) nearby, making it attractive for families.
Desirable Outdoor Living & Views: A spacious 10,157 sqft lot features a private pool, spa, and a backyard gazebo offering breathtaking foothill, mountain, park/greenbelt, and tree/wood views, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Functional & Flexible Layout: The home boasts an open layout with vaulted ceilings, central air conditioning and heating, a versatile wet bar, a cozy second living room with a fireplace, and a convenient downstairs bedroom and bath, providing excellent functionality and flexibility.
Recent Price Adjustment: The property has seen a significant price reduction from its original list price of $1,649,900 to $1,524,990, indicating potential value and a motivated seller.

Cons

Potential for Modernization: Built in 1986, the property's description as a 'charming gem' and an opportunity for 'crafting your dream space' suggests that while well-maintained, some interior elements (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms, finishes) may be original or dated and could benefit from modernization to align with current buyer preferences.
Age of Major Systems: Given its 1986 construction, critical systems such as the roof, plumbing, and HVAC (despite being central) may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment for replacement or significant maintenance.
Investment Required for Personalization: The explicit mention of 'crafting your dream space' implies that buyers should anticipate additional investment in time and resources to personalize and update the property to their specific tastes and modern standards, beyond the purchase price.
