More Insights

Built in 1975 (51 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1975, features a recently updated kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, new flooring, and stainless steel appliances, which presents well. However, the bathrooms are basic and appear dated with pedestal sinks and older tile styles. A significant drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, relying instead on window units, which is a major comfort issue for the El Cajon climate. While there are recent significant upgrades like paid-off solar, a new sewer lateral line, and a new retaining wall, the age of the core structure, the dated bathrooms, and the lack of central AC indicate that the property requires minor updates to meet current standards and buyer expectations, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
