Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1995, this property has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom is extensively updated with a steam shower, soaking tub, and contemporary finishes. Additional upgrades include an owned solar system, a new 2025 water heater, and mini-split HVAC units in the primary bedroom and the detached, insulated den. While some original elements like the tile flooring in the main living areas and kitchen are present, they are well-maintained and functional, not requiring immediate renovation. The property's major systems are updated or within their expected lifespan, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 17871, living area = 2235.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: The property boasts a 20-panel owned solar system with favorable NEM2, significantly reducing energy costs and enhancing environmental appeal. A new 2025 water heater further adds to efficiency and peace of mind.
Versatile Additional Space: A professionally built, detached, insulated den with its own mini-split HVAC offers a flexible 5th optional room, ideal for a home office, creative studio, play zone, guest room, or potential ADU conversion.
Outdoor Lifestyle & Privacy: Situated on an elevated, oversized lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home offers privacy, mountain views, amazing breezes, and sunsets. The large lot provides ample space for a pool, RV/boat storage, and access to nearby hiking, fishing, and camping.
Updated Interior & Functional Layout: The home features updated kitchen and baths, a highly desired bedroom and full bath on the main floor, and a primary suite with westerly views, a walk-in closet, steam shower, soaking tub, and dedicated mini-split HVAC.
No HOA: The absence of a Homeowners Association (HOA) provides financial savings on monthly dues and greater freedom for property modifications and usage.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 5.
School District Ratings: Several local public schools, including Rios Elementary (K-5) and Idea Center High School (9-12), have lower ratings (3/10), which may be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Potential for Limited Central Cooling: While mini-split HVAC units are mentioned for the detached room and primary bedroom, the description does not explicitly confirm central air conditioning for the entire main house, which could be a drawback in El Cajon's warmer climate.
Inland Location Perception: Despite convenient freeway access and proximity to local amenities, El Cajon's inland location may be perceived as less desirable or further from major employment centers and coastal attractions compared to other San Diego communities, potentially affecting broader market appeal.
