Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1974, has received several significant functional updates including new vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, a new furnace, water heater, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. These updates contribute to its move-in readiness and functionality. However, the kitchen features very dated pink tiled countertops and backsplash, along with older white appliances (excluding the new dishwasher). The bathroom is notably outdated with its teal and peach tiled walls and countertop, and older fixtures. While major systems are functional and some cosmetic improvements have been made, the kitchen and bathroom styles are significantly behind current trends and would require substantial renovation to modernize, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with major components showing signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

FHA Approved Complex: The Grossmont Village Complex is FHA approved, which significantly broadens the potential buyer pool, especially for first-time homebuyers, by allowing more flexible financing options.
Recent Major Updates: The unit benefits from new paint, vinyl plank flooring, a new furnace, water heater, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, reducing immediate maintenance and upgrade costs for a new owner.
Unique Architectural Features & Natural Light: As an end unit with east/west facing, it offers abundant natural light and excellent cross-breeze. Features like wood-beamed ceilings, skylights, and built-ins add character and openness.
Private Outdoor Space & Views: A private, west-facing patio overlooks the courtyard, offering garden, pool, and sunset views, providing a desirable outdoor retreat.
Community Amenities: The complex provides several common area pools and mature landscaping, enhancing the lifestyle and appeal for residents.

Cons

Probate Sale: Being a probate sale, the transaction process may be subject to court approval, potentially leading to longer closing times and additional complexities for buyers.
Limited Living Space & Bedroom Count: With only 1 bedroom and 576 sqft, the unit's small footprint and limited bedroom count restrict its appeal to a smaller demographic, primarily singles, couples, or investors.
Lack of In-Unit Laundry: The laundry facilities are located in a common area near the pool, which can be less convenient than having private in-unit laundry.
