Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1957, has been well-maintained and features some updates such as newer windows and a mix of hardwood, laminate, and tile flooring. The kitchen, while clean and functional, appears to have been renovated approximately 15-25 years ago, featuring oak-style cabinets, granite countertops, and a dated tile backsplash. Appliances are a mix, with a modern stainless steel refrigerator but older white built-in ovens and microwave. The absence of central air conditioning (indicated by a visible window AC unit) and the overall dated style of the kitchen and some fixtures suggest that while the home is move-in ready, it would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic and comfort standards. Bathrooms were not pictured, but based on the kitchen, they are likely similarly updated or older.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Amenities: The property boasts a highly convenient location in the heart of Chula Vista, with easy access to Chula Vista Mall, diverse restaurants, a movie theater, vibrant Third Ave nightlife, and the newly built Gaylord Resort Hotel and Marina, offering a rich lifestyle.
Functional Layout & Privacy: Features an open floor plan connecting the living room, dining room, and kitchen, appealing to modern living. The primary bedroom is strategically separated from the other two bedrooms, ensuring added privacy for occupants.
Corner Lot & Low Maintenance Yard: Situated on a desirable corner lot, the property offers a low-maintenance yard, which is ideal for buyers seeking to minimize upkeep and maximize time for leisure and enjoying local amenities.
RV Parking Availability: A significant advantage for outdoor enthusiasts or those with extra vehicles, the property includes dedicated RV parking, adding practical value and catering to a specific buyer demographic.
Competitive Pricing & Value: The current list price of $799,000 is below the estimated property value of $814,519.45 and reflects a price reduction from its original listing of $850,000, indicating potential good value for prospective buyers.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1957, the home's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes may be original or outdated, potentially requiring significant investment for modernization and upgrades.
Lack of Premium Views: While the property has a view, it is specified as a 'Neighborhood' view, indicating the absence of more desirable, value-adding vistas such as ocean, city skyline, or mountain panoramas that can command higher prices in the region.
Absence of Explicit System Upgrades: The property description does not mention any recent upgrades or renovations to critical home systems (e.g., roof, windows, HVAC, electrical panel), which for a 1957 build, implies these components might be older and could lead to future maintenance or replacement costs for a buyer.
