Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1951, this property shows a mix of recent updates and older components. While the description highlights a 'recently updated bathroom' (which appears modern with new tiling and fixtures in the images) and a 'brand new roof and upgrades,' the kitchen, from the limited view in the images, appears to have older-style wooden cabinets and tile flooring, suggesting it has not been recently renovated to the same extent as the bathroom. The presence of a window AC unit indicates a lack of central air conditioning, which is an outdated cooling system. The hardwood floors are a positive feature, but overall, the property requires minor updates to bring the kitchen and HVAC systems up to modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Recent Capital Improvements: The property boasts a brand new roof and other recent upgrades, significantly reducing immediate maintenance concerns and enhancing long-term value.
Excellent Commuter & Lifestyle Location: Strategically located near I-15 and I-8 freeways, with close proximity to schools, parks, shopping, eateries, and a short 15-20 minute drive to San Diego International Airport, offering superior convenience.
Desirable Interior Features: Features such as abundant natural light, hardwood floors, a spacious kitchen, and a large primary suite with a recently updated bathroom and walk-in closet contribute to a comfortable living experience.
Functional Outdoor & Storage Space: A cozy private yard provides valuable outdoor enjoyment, complemented by a large garage offering excellent storage capacity.
Strong School Proximity: The home is located near several public schools, including highly-rated options like McKinley Elementary (rated 9), making it attractive for families.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1951, the home is over 70 years old, which may imply older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems not explicitly upgraded) and potential for age-related maintenance.
Modest Square Footage: At 1072 sqft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the property offers relatively modest living space, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking larger homes.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a price reduction from its original listing, which could indicate initial overvaluation or market resistance, potentially signaling a need for further market adjustment.
