Condition Rating
Poor
While the main house has received recent cosmetic updates including new carpet, light flooring, fresh paint, updated windows, new ceiling fans, and light fixtures, and benefits from modern mini-split AC units, the property's overall condition is significantly impacted by the unpermitted garage conversion. This conversion, which includes an additional living space and bathroom, poses substantial legal, financial, and potential safety risks, requiring significant rehabilitation or removal to rectify. The kitchen, though equipped with stainless steel appliances, features dated cabinets and countertops. The main house also has only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which is a functional limitation. Given the 1954 build year, core systems (plumbing, original electrical, roof) are likely old and not explicitly updated, and the unpermitted work constitutes a 'significant defect affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity' as per the 'Poor' criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Cosmetic Updates: The main house features new carpet, light flooring, fresh paint, updated windows, new ceiling fans, light fixtures, and blinds, offering a move-in ready condition.
Versatile Additional Living Space: The converted garage includes a bathroom, sink, and stove, providing flexible options for an office, guest suite, or potential auxiliary living area.
Spacious & Customizable Outdoor Area: A generous 5500 sqft lot with a patio cover and two storage sheds offers ample space for landscaping, entertaining, or future outdoor amenities.
Included Kitchen Appliances & Storage: The kitchen comes equipped with a stainless steel stove, fridge, and an 'amazing freezer,' complemented by added cabinets and two outdoor sheds for extensive storage.
Desirable San Diego Location: Located in San Diego's Encanto area (92114) with several schools nearby, indicating a convenient and potentially family-friendly neighborhood.
Cons
Unpermitted Garage Conversion: The garage conversion, including an additional living space and bathroom, has 'NO PERMITS ON FILE,' posing significant legal, financial, and safety risks for the buyer.
Limited Main House Bathroom Count: The primary 3-bedroom residence only has one bathroom, which can be inconvenient for a household with multiple occupants.
Age of Property & Potential System Issues: Built in 1954, despite cosmetic updates, the property's age suggests that core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or outdated, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
