Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1954, this property shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The visible interior features include stained, worn carpet and an outdated window air conditioning unit, indicating a lack of central cooling and overall system updates. The tile flooring, while clean, appears dated. With no images of the kitchen or bathrooms, and given the condition of the other visible areas, it's highly probable these critical areas are also very outdated or in need of substantial renovation. The property requires significant rehabilitation to meet modern living standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Potential / Flexible Living: The property includes an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office space.
Generous Lot Size: With a 6000 sqft lot, the property provides ample outdoor space for landscaping, gardening, potential expansion, or recreational activities.
Convenient Location: Its proximity to shopping centers and 'Metro' (public transportation) enhances daily convenience and accessibility for residents.
Additional Functional Space: The inclusion of a 'rec.room' (recreation room) provides valuable extra living space beyond the standard bedrooms, suitable for various uses.
Access to Highly-Rated Schools: The property is located near several well-regarded schools, including La Mesa Arts Academy (rating 8) and Freese Elementary School (rating 6), which is attractive for families.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1954, the home is older and may require significant investment in modernizing systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and aesthetics to meet contemporary standards.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1126 sqft for the main residence, the interior living space is relatively modest, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living areas, especially given the price point.
On-Market Date Anomaly: The listed 'on_market_date' of 2025-03-29 for an 'Active' listing is a data inconsistency that could cause confusion or indicate a pre-listing status, potentially affecting buyer perception or immediate availability.
