Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

Built in 2002, this property is in well-maintained, move-in ready condition with significant recent upgrades that elevate it above the 'fair' category. Key improvements include new high-mil vinyl flooring, a modernized kitchen featuring premium Monogram and black stainless steel appliances, and substantial system updates such as a 55-panel owned solar system, Tesla charger, and new HVAC components. While some original elements like the kitchen floor tile and cabinetry style reflect the home's age, the extensive maintenance and high-end features like the dedicated movie theater and modernized pool equipment justify a 'good' rating.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: R. Roger Rowe Elementary School (10/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).

  • Exceptional Energy Efficiency

    The property features a massive 55-panel owned solar system and a Tesla electric car charger, offering significant long-term utility savings and sustainability.

  • Premier Entertainment Amenities

    Equipped with a dedicated downstairs movie theater with reclining seats and a resort-style backyard featuring a pool, spa, and built-in BBQ, the home is an entertainer's dream.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Market Pricing Adjustment

    A recent price reduction from the original listing suggests the property may have faced initial market resistance at the higher valuation.

  • Aging Infrastructure

    Built in 2002, while many surfaces are upgraded, some original structural components and systems may be approaching the end of their typical lifecycle.

  • Limited View Profile

    The property is noted for a neighborhood view, which may be considered a drawback compared to other high-end San Elijo Hills residences that offer panoramic ocean or canyon vistas.

Located in a premium gated community, this home sits on an expansive 11,743 sq ft lot and delivers an impeccable layout with 4 bedrooms, a large dedicated office, a true downstairs movie theater with reclining seating, an upstairs loft, and a spacious 3-car garage—all wrapped into a fabulous, highly functional floorplan.
