Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1986, this property has undergone significant cosmetic updates, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, black granite countertops, and recessed lighting, though the cabinet style appears to be painted original. The bathroom also shows updated fixtures, vanity, and lighting. Newer laminate/LVP flooring and fresh paint throughout contribute to a well-maintained and updated feel, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Community: Situated in the desirable Fletcher Hills Meadows community on a cul-de-sac, offering a highly sought-after and quiet living environment.
Well-Maintained & Functional Design: Described as beautifully maintained with an open and comfortable layout, appealing to modern living preferences.
Family-Oriented Layout: Features four spacious bedrooms, all conveniently located upstairs, including an oversized primary suite with ample closet space, ideal for families.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Includes a charming covered patio perfect for outdoor dining, a spacious backyard, and an above-ground swimming spa for relaxation and entertainment.
Favorable Financial & Educational Aspects: Benefits from a low HOA fee and access to highly-rated public schools in the Grossmont Union High School District.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =4356, other record lot size in square feet = 4547.
Twin Home Classification: As a twin home, it shares a wall with an adjacent property, which may not appeal to buyers exclusively seeking a fully detached single-family residence.
Above-Ground Spa Limitation: The swimming spa is above ground, which might be viewed as less integrated or permanent compared to an in-ground spa, potentially impacting long-term aesthetic appeal or maintenance.
Potentially Compact Interior for Bedroom Count: With 1506 sqft across 4 bedrooms, the overall interior living space might feel somewhat compact for some larger families or those desiring more expansive common areas.
