Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1978, has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern dark custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, indicating an extensive update likely within the last 5-15 years. Bathrooms also show modern vanities, light countertops, and subway tile. Hardwood flooring is present in main living areas and stairs, with well-maintained carpet in bedrooms. While the 'AS IS' clause suggests potential underlying issues or deferred maintenance not visible, the overall aesthetic and functional updates make the home move-in ready with no immediate renovation required for key areas. The exterior shows some dry landscaping but the house structure appears well-maintained.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Large Lot with Outdoor Amenities: The property boasts a huge 0.41-acre yard with mature fruit trees, a private pool, and a patio area, offering extensive outdoor living space and potential for further landscaping or expansion.
Updated Custom Kitchen: Features a custom kitchen with quartz countertops and ample custom cabinetry, providing a modern and highly functional space for cooking and entertaining.
Three-Car Garage: Includes a desirable three-car garage, offering generous parking, storage, or workshop space.
Desirable Location: Situated in a great neighborhood bordering Santee and El Cajon, with convenient access to schools, shopping, and major freeways.
Mountain Views: The property offers pleasant mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and providing a scenic backdrop.
Cons
As-Is Condition: The home is being sold 'AS IS,' which implies that the buyer will be responsible for any necessary repairs, upgrades, or deferred maintenance without seller contribution.
High Association Fee: A significant monthly association fee of $420.0 is noted, which is unusually high for a single-family residence and adds a substantial ongoing cost to homeownership.
Unpermitted Sunroom (Potential): The sunroom is explicitly stated as 'not included in square footage,' which often indicates it may be unpermitted or not built to code, potentially impacting appraisal, financing, or future resale value.
