Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1952, this property shows significant age and a lack of extensive modern renovations. The kitchen is very dated with original-style wood cabinets, old white appliances, laminate countertops, and wood paneling, requiring a complete overhaul. While the bathroom has a newer vanity, the tub/shower unit and light fixture are older, indicating only partial updates. Bedrooms feature worn carpets and dated ceiling fans. Overall, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current quality and aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: The property boasts a fantastic location next to J Street and the Marina, benefiting from proximity to new developments in Chula Vista, indicating potential for future growth and desirability.
Generous Lot Size: An ample 6000 sqft backyard offers significant outdoor space, privacy from neighbors, and potential for landscaping, expansion, or additional amenities.
Investment Potential: Described as having 'lots of potential,' this 1952-built home on a large lot presents a strong opportunity for renovation, expansion, and value appreciation for investors or owner-occupants willing to customize.
Significant Price Reduction: The list price has been substantially reduced from $875,000 to $725,000, making it a more attractive and competitive option in the current market.
Proximity to Rated Schools: The home is conveniently located near well-rated public schools, including Chula Vista Senior High School (4/5 rating, 0.64 miles) and Chula Vista Middle School (4/5 rating, 1.14 miles).
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for three bedrooms, the property may present functional challenges for families or multiple occupants, potentially requiring an upgrade or addition.
Compact Living Space: At 900 sqft, the interior living area is relatively small for a three-bedroom home, which might feel cramped for some buyers and limit spaciousness.
Age and Required Updates: Built in 1952, the home is older and likely requires significant modernization, system updates, and cosmetic renovations to meet contemporary standards and buyer expectations.
