Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1974, making it 50 years old. While it has received updates such as wood flooring, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and a custom walk-in shower, these renovations appear to be 15-25 years old rather than recent. The kitchen features white appliances and a somewhat dated faucet. The primary bathroom's glass block shower, while an update, is also a style popular 15-25 years ago. Other elements like some light fixtures, vertical blinds, and carpet on the stairs show age. The property is well-maintained and functional but shows signs of being outdated in key areas, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & Accessibility: Offers convenient access to US Hwys 8 and 15, providing excellent connectivity, and is minutes away from Lake Murray Regional Park and regional shopping.
Modern Interior Features: Boasts a contemporary vibe with wood flooring in key living areas, recessed lighting, granite kitchen counters, stainless steel sink, and a custom walk-in shower in the primary bath.
Appealing Views: Features a large deck with a wonderful view perspective of Mt. Helix and the park, complemented by city lights, hills, and tree views from various points, including the primary bedroom.
Included Appliances: Comes equipped with a newer refrigerator, microwave, washer/dryer, and an additional refrigerator, offering significant value and a move-in ready experience.
Well-Maintained Community: Located within the 'Well established and maintained Strawberry Hills HOA,' suggesting a desirable and cared-for living environment with community amenities.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1974, the property is 50 years old, which may lead to concerns about the condition of original major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) if not recently updated.
High HOA Fees: A monthly association fee of $425 is substantial and adds a significant recurring cost to homeownership, potentially impacting affordability for some buyers.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description only mentions ceiling fans, implying the absence of central air conditioning, which could be a notable discomfort during La Mesa's warmer months.
