Condition Rating
Good
This 1973-built home has undergone significant upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a glass tile backsplash, which, while not the absolute latest trend, are modern and well-maintained. The custom bathrooms also appear updated. Flooring consists of tile in main living areas and clean carpet in bedrooms. The overall condition suggests an extensive renovation likely within the last 10-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a well-maintained property with functional systems and updated components, even if not a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Upgrades & Modern Kitchen: The home is beautifully upgraded throughout, featuring a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, glass tile backsplash, and ample cabinetry, alongside custom bathrooms.
Spacious & Flexible Floor Plan: Offering 5 bedrooms and 3 baths across approximately 2,500 sq. ft., the desirable layout includes a primary suite and two additional bedrooms on the entry level, plus a versatile upstairs loft perfect for a second living area, office, or playroom.
Desirable Community & Low Costs: Located in a sought-after Mira Mesa community that includes a pool, the property benefits from low HOA fees ($174.96) and no Mello Roos, enhancing affordability and lifestyle.
Excellent Location & Accessibility: The property boasts a prime location close to top-rated schools (Ericson Elementary, Mira Mesa High), parks, dining, shopping, and convenient access to I-15.
Outdoor Entertainment Space: A large covered patio provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, extending the living area.
Cons
Limited Lot Size: With a lot size of 5300 sqft, the outdoor yard space may be relatively modest for a 5-bedroom, 2500 sqft home, potentially limiting extensive landscaping or recreational areas.
Absence of Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None', indicating a lack of significant panoramic or desirable scenic views, which can be a factor for some buyers in San Diego.
Age of Construction: Built in 1973, despite extensive upgrades, the underlying structure and some systems are over 50 years old, which may lead to higher long-term maintenance costs or require future updates beyond cosmetic improvements.
