Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1995, is well-maintained with 'fantastic bones' and a clean appearance, indicating regular upkeep. However, the interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, features dated elements such as honey oak cabinetry, white solid surface countertops with tile backsplashes, and older style light fixtures and appliances (black/paneled). While functional, these areas show clear signs of being outdated and would require significant cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 221720, living area = 2438.
Great Schools: Elementary School: San Onofre Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Mary Fay Pendleton Elementary School (9/10).
Prime La Cresta Location & Views: Situated in a close-in, central La Cresta location surrounded by multi-million dollar estates, offering stunning sunset views behind the Cleveland National Forest and convenient access to amenities, freeways, and Temecula Wine Country.
Massive RV Garage: Features a substantial 1300 sq ft double-entry RV garage, providing exceptional utility for vehicle storage, workshops, or hobby space with dual access.
Expansive & Usable 5-Acre Parcel: The property boasts 5 usable acres on a gentle knoll, offering incredible privacy and ample space for equestrian facilities, agriculture, or future development such as a pool or ADU without restrictions.
Paid-for Solar System: Includes a paid-for solar system, providing significant cost-efficiency and environmental benefits to the homeowner.
Functional Layout & Natural Light: The single-story home offers a clean, well-designed layout with good separation between guest rooms and the primary suite, enhanced by abundant natural light through numerous glass doors.

Cons

Potential for Interior Updates: Built in 1995, while described as 'clean' with 'fantastic bones,' the interior finishes may not be fully modernized to contemporary luxury standards, potentially requiring updates to align with surrounding multi-million dollar estates.
Extensive Land Maintenance: The 5-acre parcel, especially with its potential for equestrian or agricultural use, will require significant ongoing landscaping and property maintenance, which can be a considerable commitment of time and resources.
Lack of Existing Luxury Amenities: While the property offers potential for additions like a pool or ADU, these high-end amenities are not currently present, requiring further investment from a buyer to achieve a fully customized luxury lifestyle.
