Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1982, the unit is well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen has been recently updated with modern quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the living areas feature newer wood-style flooring. While some elements like the popcorn ceilings and wall AC units are dated, the primary living spaces have undergone significant enough renovation within the last 5-15 years to qualify as Good.
The property includes a rare private one-car garage with a roll-up door plus a second assigned space, offering significant value and security compared to other condos at this price point.
The unit features an updated kitchen with white quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, along with wood-style flooring and a stone fireplace, ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
Ideally situated near major freeways (8 and 67), Parkway Plaza, and local schools, providing excellent accessibility for commuters and easy access to shopping and dining.
At 638 square feet, the one-bedroom layout is relatively small, which may limit appeal for buyers needing extra storage or a home office.
The absence of in-unit laundry hookups requires residents to use the community laundry room, which can be a drawback for those seeking maximum convenience.
Offered for the first time since 2000. This upper level condo in Villa Serena comes with something most El Cajon condos at this price do not have: a private one car garage with a roll up door, plus a second assigned parking space. The kitchen has been updated with white quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a deep single basin sink, and a window above the sink. Wood style flooring runs through the living area and the bedroom. A corner stone fireplace anchors the living room, and the slider opens to a covered balcony above the interior greenbelt and its mature crape myrtles. The bedroom is generous for the floor plan, with a ceiling fan and a treetop view. The bath has a tub and shower combination with a cultured marble vanity. Once you are inside, everything is on one level. Villa Serena covers just over two acres of landscaped grounds with wide walking paths, lawn, boulder accents, and an on site laundry room. Chase Avenue Elementary is 0.2 miles away. Cajon Valley Middle and Grossmont High are each about 1.3 miles (Cajon Valley Union and Grossmont Union districts, per public records). Parkway Plaza, downtown El Cajon, and the 8 and 67 freeways are all minutes out. Held by the same family for over 26 years.
