Pros & Cons
Pros
Turnkey & Modern Updates: The property is move-in ready with brand new LVP flooring, bath/shower enclosure, new faucets, recessed lighting, kitchen appliances, and fresh interior paint, offering immediate comfort and modern aesthetics.
Extensive Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a wealth of community features including a nine-hole golf course, pickleball courts, two pools, and a clubhouse with various activities, fostering an active lifestyle.
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in Encinitas, the home offers convenient access to beautiful beaches, vibrant town centers, diverse shopping options, and acclaimed restaurants.
Private & Quiet Setting: Enjoy a peaceful and private location tucked away with green areas both front and rear, complemented by a long driveway for added seclusion.
Single-Level Living with Patios: This single-level home with ground-level entry is ideal for active seniors, featuring spacious enclosed front and back patio areas for outdoor enjoyment.
Cons
Age-Restricted Community: The property is located within a 55+ active senior community, which significantly limits the potential buyer pool and future resale market.
Compact Square Footage: With 884 square feet, the living space is relatively compact for a 2-bedroom unit, which may not suit all buyer preferences for space.
High Monthly Association Fee: A monthly association fee of $380 adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, which potential buyers must factor into their budget.
