Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1989, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its core aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen, is dated. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets and white tile countertops/backsplash, which are functional but no longer meet current design trends, despite having updated stainless steel appliances and a modern faucet. While the description mentions 'upgraded flooring' (visible as hardwood in one bedroom and terra cotta-style tile in main living areas), and the overall property appears clean, the lack of visible bathroom updates suggests a similar condition to the kitchen. The property would benefit from cosmetic renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms to align with contemporary styles.
Pros & Cons

Great Schools: High School: Sage Creek High School (9/10).
Gated Community & Cul-de-sac Location: The property is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the secure, gated Shadowridge community, offering enhanced privacy, reduced traffic, and a serene living environment.
Exceptional Outdoor Living Space: Features a beautifully landscaped backyard with citrus trees, flowering plants, and a custom Alumawood patio cover with lighting and ceiling fan, ideal for indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining.
Abundant Community & Local Amenities: Residents benefit from access to community amenities including a pool, spa, walking paths, and picnic areas, complemented by nearby parks and trails (0.3-0.5 miles) for recreation.
Strong Connectivity & Convenience: Offers excellent proximity to schools (Rancho Buena Vista High School 0.4 miles), local transit options, easy access to North County freeways, and a short drive to shopping, restaurants, and services.
Comfort-Enhancing Interior Features: The home includes desirable interior features such as vaulted ceilings, a living room fireplace, upgraded flooring, and central air conditioning, contributing to a comfortable and modern living space.

Cons

Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $173.0, which represents an additional recurring cost for homeowners.
Moderate School Performance: While conveniently located, the closest elementary and middle schools (Lake Elementary and Madison Middle) have moderate ratings (6 and 5 respectively), which may be a consideration for some families prioritizing top-tier school performance.
Modest Lot Size: The 4,712 sqft lot, while efficiently utilized, offers limited space for significant expansion or extensive private outdoor activities beyond the existing landscaped backyard.
