Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1987, has received recent maintenance updates including a new furnace, water heater, carpet, and interior paint, which are positive. However, the kitchen features dark wood cabinets, white appliances, and granite countertops that appear dated, likely from a renovation 15-25 years ago. The primary bathroom also shows an older vanity and countertop style. While functional and well-maintained, the key aesthetic elements of the kitchen and bathrooms are outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with renovations between 15 to 30 years ago.
Pros & Cons

Pros

ADU & Owned Solar: The property features a valuable Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with its own entrance, kitchen, and living room, offering significant rental income potential or flexible living arrangements. Additionally, owned solar panels provide energy efficiency and cost savings.
Prime Location & Community Amenities: Located in the highly sought-after Calavera Hills neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac, within a top school district, and approximately four miles from the beach. Proximity to Calavera Hills Community Park offers extensive recreational facilities including athletic fields, a gym, tennis, and basketball courts.
Recent Major Updates: The home has been recently rejuvenated with a new furnace, new water heater, new carpet in key living areas, and fresh interior paint, reducing immediate maintenance and upgrade costs for a new owner.
Versatile Living Spaces: Offers a single-level main house with spacious living, formal dining, a large kitchen with a wet bar, a comfortable family room, and a permitted 238 sq ft bonus room, providing ample and flexible space for various needs.
Outdoor Living Potential: Includes a beautiful side yard and patio set up for outdoor dining, complemented by ocean breezes, and a large additional space on the other side of the house ready for gardening, a bocce ball court, or a dog run.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1987, while recently updated, some core systems or design elements may still reflect its age and could require further modernization or maintenance in the long term.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback for some buyers, particularly during warmer months, despite the coastal location.
Potentially Dated Aesthetics: Specific design elements like 'leaded glass French doors' and a 'wet bar' in the kitchen, while functional, might not align with all buyers' preferences for a contemporary aesthetic.
