Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old and shows no evidence of major renovations. The interior images reveal dated laminate flooring, worn carpets, and older window treatments. Crucially, there are no images of the kitchen or bathrooms, and the listing description states the home is 'ready for your personal touch and vision,' which strongly implies these key areas are original or very outdated and require substantial rehabilitation. The exterior and landscaping also appear neglected and dated. While the structure seems sound, the property requires significant investment to modernize and update all major components to current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Situated in an established and highly sought-after La Costa neighborhood on a quiet residential street, offering a desirable and peaceful living environment.
Development Potential: The elevated, mostly level 0.22-acre lot provides significant potential for expansive area views with a future second-story addition, allowing for customization and value appreciation.
Access to Top-Rated Schools: Proximity to highly-rated public schools such as La Costa Heights Elementary (9), Pacific Trails Middle (10), and La Costa Canyon High (7) is a major draw for families.
Lifestyle Amenities: Excellent access to renowned golf courses, beautiful nearby beaches, fine dining, and family attractions like LEGOLAND enhances the overall quality of life and property appeal.
Customization Opportunity: The property offers a well-designed floor plan, presenting a rare chance for buyers to personalize and create their dream home according to their vision.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1975, the home is older and likely requires significant updates and renovations to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards, which could be a substantial investment.
Renovation Required: The description implies the home is 'ready for your personal touch and vision,' suggesting it is not move-in ready and will require substantial investment in renovations to modernize.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $1.575 million is notably higher than the property's estimated value of $1.356 million, which could indicate it is overpriced relative to its current condition or market comparables.
