Despite being built in 1959, the property has undergone significant recent renovations as stated in the description and evidenced by the images. The kitchen features updated cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Both bathrooms have been recently renovated with modern fixtures, including a vessel sink and contemporary tile work. The home boasts an open-concept floor plan and updated flooring throughout the main living areas. While the style of some updates (e.g., granite pattern, vessel sink) might not be cutting-edge 'excellent' by today's newest trends, they are clearly modern and well-maintained, fitting the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'good' score. The property is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required.

Modernized Interior Living Spaces: Features a spacious open-concept floor plan, a gorgeous updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and two recently renovated bathrooms, including an en-suite primary bath.

Cons

Age of Core Systems: Built in 1959, while cosmetically updated, the age of underlying core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may not be addressed, potentially leading to future maintenance costs.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern for buyers during San Diego's warmer months.
Backyard Layout Preference: The backyard is described with hardscape and tropical landscaping; buyers seeking a traditional grassy lawn or more open green space might find it less ideal.
