Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Upgrades: Comprehensive renovations including a remodeled kitchen with upgraded appliances, updated bathrooms, a new electrical panel, and a new sewer line, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Flexible Living Space & ADU Potential: An additional 344 sq ft from a converted garage and sunroom offers versatile use, complemented by a spacious 6,000 sq ft lot with clear potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Equipped with central heating, leased solar panels, and a new electrical panel, contributing to lower utility costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
Charming Craftsman Architecture: Retains timeless Craftsman character with original architectural touches, custom stained-glass details, distressed hickory hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings, appealing to buyers seeking unique style.
Prime & Peaceful Serra Mesa Location: Situated on a quiet street in Serra Mesa, offering central access to San Diego amenities like Snapdragon Stadium, parks, shopping, dining, and major freeways.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1959, despite significant upgrades, the underlying structure is over 60 years old, which may raise long-term maintenance considerations for some buyers.
Leased Solar System: While beneficial for energy savings, the solar system is leased, which can sometimes be a less attractive option than owned solar and may require assumption of the lease by the buyer.
Limited View: The property offers a 'Neighborhood' view, lacking premium vistas such as ocean, city lights, or panoramic views that can significantly enhance property value in San Diego.
