Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1961, this property has undergone a significant renovation, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a modern tile backsplash. Bathrooms are also updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and clean tiling. New wood-look laminate flooring is consistent throughout, and the description notes a 'new HVAV heater.' While the finishes are modern and well-maintained, some elements like the mosaic backsplash and basic white shower tiles suggest the renovation might be closer to 5-15 years old rather than brand new, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1961, the property's age may imply potential for older infrastructure or systems not explicitly updated, which could lead to future maintenance considerations.
Pricing Strategy: Despite a recent price reduction, the current list price remains above the estimated property value, potentially indicating a challenging price point in the current market.
Limited View: While the property has a 'Neighborhood' view, the absence of premium bay, ocean, or panoramic city views might be a drawback for buyers seeking such high-value amenities in this desirable San Diego area.
