Condition Rating
Poor
This property, built in 1968, is explicitly described as a 'Major Fixer' needing 'everything to be replaced/repaired,' including the roof, siding, electrical, flooring, drywall, both bathrooms, kitchen, and HVAC. The images confirm this, showing severely outdated and worn conditions throughout, such as original 1960s wood paneling, old ceramic tile, dated kitchen cabinets and fixtures, and unmaintained bathrooms. The pool is green with 'significant heaving/cracking in the pool deck,' indicating potential structural issues. This property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation across all major systems and cosmetic areas, making it far from move-in ready and likely uncomfortable or unsafe in its current state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in San Diego, California, a highly sought-after real estate market, offering strong appreciation potential and desirability.
Large, Usable Lot: The property boasts a substantial 10,454.4 sqft, mostly flat lot, providing excellent potential for landscaping, expansion, or outdoor amenities.
Significant Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly described as a 'Major Fixer,' it offers a blank canvas for a savvy investor or homeowner to customize and realize substantial equity gains through comprehensive renovation.
Investor/Contractor Focus: The clear 'flip, contractor, TLC' messaging directly targets a specific buyer demographic prepared for extensive renovation, potentially streamlining the sales process.
Established Neighborhood: Located in the Paradise Hills subdivision, an established community in San Diego, which typically offers stable property values and access to local amenities.
Cons
Extensive & Costly Renovation: The property requires comprehensive replacement/repair of nearly all major systems and cosmetic elements (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, etc.), indicating a very high renovation budget and significant effort.
Potential Structural/Geological Issues: The 'significant heaving/cracking in the pool deck' and 'unknown is the decking/pool/slope of property' suggest serious underlying structural or geological concerns that could lead to unpredictable and extremely expensive repairs.
High Financial Risk & Uncertainty: The unknown scope and cost of addressing the potential structural issues, combined with the extensive list of general repairs, presents considerable financial risk and makes accurate budgeting challenging for potential buyers.
