Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1957, this property has clearly undergone extensive and recent renovations, likely within the last 5 years. The kitchen features modern dark wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, contemporary countertops, and recessed lighting, all indicative of a high-quality, recent update. The bathroom is similarly updated with a modern vanity, mirror, light fixture, and a tiled shower with a glass enclosure. Throughout the home, there's new-looking flooring (hardwood/laminate and carpet), fresh paint, and updated light fixtures, including ceiling fans and recessed lighting. The overall condition is virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for an extensively renovated property.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Central Location: Situated in the desirable North Clairemont area, offering convenient access to major freeways (I-5, 52), shopping, schools, beaches, La Jolla, UCSD, and UTC.
Functional Single-Level Layout: Features a bright, open floor plan with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, abundant natural light, and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances that opens to the family room, ideal for modern living and entertaining.
Desirable Outdoor Living: Includes a private, low-maintenance backyard and a level lot, perfect for outdoor dining, relaxation, and easy accessibility.
Strong School District & Proximity: Located within the San Diego Unified School District with several highly-rated elementary schools nearby, enhancing family appeal.
Favorable Listing Price: The current list price is below the estimated property value, potentially offering immediate equity or a competitive entry point for buyers.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for System Updates: Built in 1957, the home, while well-maintained, may require future updates to major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) to meet contemporary standards and efficiency.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property does not offer any notable scenic views (e.g., ocean, city skyline), which might be a consideration for buyers seeking premium vistas in a San Diego location.
Opportunity for Cosmetic Modernization: While functional, the description suggests the home is 'ready for your personal touch,' indicating potential for cosmetic updates to interior finishes and fixtures to align with current market trends and maximize value.
