Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1958, features a main residence with a high-end 'chef's kitchen' and updated bathrooms, as evidenced by stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and modern fixtures. While the exact renovation date for the main residence isn't specified, the visual evidence suggests significant updates likely within the last 10-15 years. The casita was extensively renovated in 2018 (6 years ago), placing it firmly within the 'Good' category's renovation timeframe. The overall estate is meticulously maintained with resort-style amenities, and all visible components are in excellent condition, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The style is traditional/Mediterranean, which is well-executed and maintained, rather than outdated.

Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Features 360° panoramic views from the dramatic tower room and sweeping vistas of Downtown San Diego, Point Loma, bay, city lights, hills, and ocean from multiple vantage points, enhancing its luxury appeal.
Luxurious Resort-Style Amenities: Boasts multiple pools and spas, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a two-story pool house with sauna, and extensive botanical gardens with over 100 rose varieties, creating an opulent and private resort-like living experience.
Modernized Guest/Secondary Living Space: The 2,428 sqft casita was extensively renovated in 2018, featuring a chef's kitchen, hardwood floors, exposed wood beam ceilings, and a separate studio, providing high-quality, modern secondary living quarters.
Significant Development Potential: Includes a ready-to-build 0.77-acre vacant lot equipped with a private water well, offering opportunities for expansion, additional structures, or enhanced privacy and sustainable landscaping.

Cons

Age of Main Residence: The main residence was built in 1958, and while described as architecturally elegant, specific details on its recent renovations are not provided, potentially indicating older systems or finishes that may require future updates.
High Maintenance Demands: The extensive acreage (2.41 acres), elaborate botanical gardens, and multiple pools/spas suggest substantial ongoing maintenance requirements and associated costs for upkeep.
Potentially High Operating Costs: Given the size of the estate, multiple structures, and luxurious amenities, property taxes and utility expenses (especially for water and electricity for pools and irrigation) are likely to be very high.
