Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated. While some kitchen appliances are updated stainless steel, the kitchen features very dated tile countertops, tile backsplash, and original-style white cabinets and fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms also present dated vanities, strip lighting, and tile surrounds. The main living areas and primary bedroom have large square tile flooring that is also dated. The property is functional and clean, but a buyer would likely undertake significant cosmetic renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms to modernize the aesthetic.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Ocean & Sunset Views: The property boasts highly desirable ocean and sunset views from both levels, including the main living area and primary suite lanai, a significant premium feature in coastal Encinitas.
Premier Leucadia Coastal Lifestyle: Located in the quaint and sought-after Leucadia community, offering walking access to Beacons Beach, local restaurants, Orpheus Park, and the Encinitas Farmers Market, appealing to a vibrant coastal lifestyle.
Unique Stand-Alone Condominium Design: As a stand-alone unit, it provides enhanced privacy and a single-family home feel, a distinct advantage over typical attached condominiums.
Attached Two-Car Garage: The convenience of an attached two-car garage is a valuable amenity, particularly in a beach community where parking can be at a premium.
Flexible Bonus Room: An additional bonus room offers versatile space that can be utilized as an office, storage, or for other needs, adding functional value to the home.
Cons
Monthly Association Fees: The $410.0 monthly association fee represents a recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget, which can be a deterrent for those preferring traditional single-family homes.
Potential for Dated Interior: Built in 1990, the property is over 30 years old. Without explicit mention of recent renovations, the interior finishes and systems may be dated, potentially requiring immediate or future updates.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: As a condominium, even a stand-alone unit, private outdoor space is typically limited compared to a single-family home, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a large private yard.
