Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 2003, is 21 years old, placing it just outside the 'Good' category's age range for construction. While it boasts significant modern upgrades like an 8 kW solar system, dual-pane windows, and updated hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring, the kitchen features older white appliances and dated track lighting, indicating it has not undergone a full recent renovation. The bathrooms appear updated with modern vanities and clean tiling, but the tile style might be 10-15 years old. The overall condition is well-maintained and move-in ready, but the kitchen's outdated aesthetics would likely prompt minor updates for many buyers, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income Potential & Versatility: Designed for flexible multi-family living with separate entrances for two distinct units (2BR/2BA and 3BR/2BA), plus a converted garage offering bonus rooms or ADU potential, making it ideal for rental income or multi-generational living.
Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Offers stunning 270° panoramic views encompassing Sweetwater Reservoir, Mount Miguel, the Pacific Ocean, and the Coronado Islands, significantly enhancing the property's appeal and value.
Attractive Financing Option: Features a rare and valuable VA assumable loan at 2.75% (on approved credit), providing a significant financial advantage for eligible buyers in the current market.
Modern Amenities & Energy Efficiency: Equipped with an 8 kW solar system, dual-pane windows, hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring, whirlpool tub, and tastefully tiled bathrooms, contributing to lower utility costs and a contemporary living experience.
No HOA/Mello-Roos & Convenient Location: Benefits from no HOA or Mello-Roos fees, and offers convenient access to schools (including SDSU), shopping, dining, entertainment, and major highways, ensuring an effortless commute and accessibility.

Cons

Hillside Access & Private Driveway: Positioned atop a private hillside with a scenic ascent via a private driveway, which may present accessibility challenges for some vehicles or individuals, and could require more maintenance.
Lack of Traditional Garage: The garage has been converted into versatile bonus rooms, meaning there is no enclosed parking space, which might be a drawback for buyers prioritizing a traditional garage for vehicle protection or storage.
Neighborhood Perception: While offering luxury features and views, the Spring Valley location, despite its accessibility, may not command the same premium or appeal to all high-end buyers compared to more established luxury neighborhoods in San Diego.
