Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

This 1984-built home is in move-in ready condition with significant recent upgrades. Key improvements include newer windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, LED lighting, and fully owned solar. The primary suite was reimagined into a modern retreat with an oversized walk-in closet. While the main interior kitchen isn't described as a full recent gut-renovation, the property features a high-end, restaurant-grade outdoor kitchen and resort-style amenities. The inclusion of an EV charger and well-maintained systems offsets the age of the structure, placing it firmly in the 'good' category.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • 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 = 20037, living area = 2274.

  • Great Schools

    High School: Sage Creek High School (9/10).

  • Resort-Style Outdoor Oasis

    The expansive half-acre lot features a professional-grade outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, a pool with a baja ledge, and a private producing vineyard and orchard, offering an unparalleled entertainment experience.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =20037, other record lot size in square feet = 20231.

  • Reduced Bedroom Count

    The original three-bedroom upstairs layout was modified into two bedrooms to create a larger primary suite, which may limit appeal for families requiring more immediate dedicated sleeping quarters.

  • 1980s Era Construction

    Despite significant modern updates and fresh paint, the 1984 build date may mean some architectural elements and underlying systems reflect an older era of construction compared to newer developments.

About 1222 Lupine Hills Drive

Lupine Hills Drive, a highly regarded street within Shadowridge Estates known for its sprawling half-acre estates, has a history of exceptionally short market times. 1222 Lupine Hills is positioned accordingly. Situated in a Carlsbad-adjacent pocket of Vista, this home sits on over half an acre of flat, usable land and delivers true resort-style living. The backyard is the centerpiece, featuring expansive pavers, custom pergolas, an outdoor shower, and a pool with baja ledge. A fire pit anchors the evenings, while a full outdoor kitchen with restaurant-grade grill, smoker, and pizza oven makes entertaining effortless. A producing vineyard of Merlot and Cabernet grows alongside table grapes, complemented by an orchard of Valencia orange, navel orange, Meyer lemon, lime, fig, guava, and Fuyu persimmon. Mature plantings still leave room to expand, play, or reimagine the grounds. City views greet you from the front of the home. Inside, the floor plan balances openness and warmth, with living and dining spaces centered around a fireplace and built-in bar. French doors separate the living and family rooms for flexibility. A main-level flex room offers potential for an office, gym, guest room, or additional bedroom. Upstairs, the second floor was reimagined from its original 3-bedroom layout into 2 bedrooms to create an oversized walk-in closet and primary bath retreat, with an easy conversion back to 3 bedrooms if desired. Recent improvements include newer windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, LED lighting, and fully owned solar that powers the home and heats the pool. Two separate garages, including an EV charger, provide ample space for parking, storage, or workshop use. Shadowridge Estates offers larger parcels, mature streetscapes, a low $50 HOA, and walkable access to Thibido Park. Minutes to the 78 with convenient access to I-5 and I-15. Carlsbad State Beach and Bressi Ranch are nearby, only 7 miles away. Private, expansive, and connected to the coast, 1222 Lupine Hills delivers space, flexibility, and proximity without compromise.
