More Insights
Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: The property receives a 'Good' score due to the significant contribution of the newly built ADU (2020), which is in excellent, modern condition with new kitchen and bathrooms. The main house, built in 1990, is well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring updated bathrooms and newer laminate flooring in some areas. However, the main house kitchen, with its older wooden cabinets, dark granite countertops, and fluorescent lighting, appears dated and would benefit from a renovation to match current styles.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Income-Generating ADU: Newly built (2020) and permitted ADU with 3 beds/2 baths, currently generating $2,950/month in rental income, offering significant financial benefit and immediate cash flow.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency: Equipped with two solar systems (one paid off), leading to substantially reduced or eliminated electricity bills and lower overall utility costs, with tenants contributing to solar and shared utilities.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Located on a private cul-de-sac in the desirable Santa Fe Hills area, with convenient access to I-15 & I-78, walking distance to San Marcos College, and proximity to shopping and amenities.
Flexible Living & Investment Opportunity: The combination of a main house (3 beds/3 baths + sunroom) and a separate, permitted ADU with its own access and yard provides versatility for multi-generational living or continued rental income.
Desirable Interior Features: The main house boasts an open kitchen, cathedral ceiling in the master bedroom, and two walk-in closets, enhancing comfort and appeal for residents.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2546, other record living area = 1470. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 6, other record bedroom count = 3.
Main House Age & Potential Updates: The main house was built in 1990, making it over 30 years old, which may suggest a need for updates or maintenance in areas beyond the kitchen to meet modern buyer expectations.
Attached ADU Configuration: While the ADU has separate access and yard, its attached nature to the main house might offer less privacy or sound separation compared to a fully detached unit, which some buyers may prefer.
Ongoing Landlord Responsibilities: The property comes with existing tenants in the ADU and a shared utility billing arrangement, requiring ongoing landlord responsibilities and coordination that some owner-occupants may wish to avoid.
