Condition Rating
Fair
This 1966 mid-century modern home is well-maintained with desirable features like hardwood floors, wood beam ceilings, stunning views, and a pool. However, the kitchen, with its purple cabinets, older countertops, and white square tile backsplash, is significantly dated in style and would require a substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic standards. While the property is functional and appears to have been regularly maintained, the kitchen's condition and the overall age of the home without evidence of a recent extensive renovation place it in the 'Fair' category, indicating it requires significant updates rather than just minor cosmetic touches.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The property boasts extensive, multi-directional views including sunsets, sunrises, Mount Helix, and the El Cajon valley floor from nearly every room, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and value.
Distinctive Mid-Century Modern Architecture: Features a unique mid-century modern design with floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, wood beam ceilings, and a 6-foot stone fireplace, offering a stylish and timeless aesthetic.
Extensive Outdoor Amenities & Landscaping: Curated, low-maintenance grounds include multiple water features (granite waterfalls), fruit trees, pathways, a large entertaining deck, and a private poolside area with an 'island vibe' and amazing views.
Potential for ADU: The lower floor offers significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with two bedrooms, a kitchen, bath, and living room, providing flexibility for income generation or multi-generational living.
Abundant Parking & New Driveway: A recently updated (3 years new) driveway provides a grand entrance and ample parking space, a practical and desirable feature for guests and multiple vehicles.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1966, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) may be original or require significant updates, which could incur substantial costs for a new owner.
ADU Requires Further Investment/Permitting: While offering ADU potential, the description notes 'inspections required,' indicating the unit is not fully permitted or ready for immediate use, necessitating additional time, effort, and financial investment.
Significant Price Reduction: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from its original list price ($2.75M to $2.2M), which may signal initial overpricing, market resistance, or potential undisclosed issues.
