Built in 1998, this property has undergone extensive and recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features refinished white cabinets, modern stainless steel appliances (including a new microwave in 2024), and clean countertops. Bathrooms also benefit from refinished cabinets and are well-maintained, though some tile and fixture styles reflect the original build era. Major systems like the water heater (2019), solar (2015), and pool (refinished 2021, new pump 2017) have been updated, and the interior was freshly painted in 2024. While some original components are over 25 years old, the significant and continuous investment in maintenance and upgrades ensures the property is in good condition with minimal wear and tear.
Pros & Cons

Pros

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 = 21520, living area = 3620.
Great Schools: Elementary School: Painted Rock Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Location & Financial Benefits: Situated on a rare 0.49-acre corner lot in a highly desirable Poway neighborhood, benefiting from the award-winning Poway Unified School District, and notably free from HOA fees or Mello-Roos taxes.
Exceptional Versatility & Space: Offers a spacious 3,620 sq. ft. main residence, a permitted 650 sq. ft. bonus room (game room), a 3-car garage, and a completely separate guest space with its own entrance, ideal for multi-generational living, home office, or rental income.
Outdoor Oasis & Energy Efficiency: Features a private pool and spa for recreation and relaxation, complemented by an owned solar system (29 LG panels) installed in 2015, significantly reducing energy costs.
ADU Potential & Expansion: The property includes land with separate access, presenting clear potential for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or further expansion, enhancing future value and utility.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Numerous significant updates and maintenance items completed between 2014-2024, including solar installation, pool refinishing, water heater replacement, and recent interior cosmetic refreshes (cabinets, paint), ensuring move-in readiness.

Cons

Age of Original Systems: While many components have been updated, the home was built in 1998, meaning some core systems (e.g., original plumbing, electrical, roof if not replaced) are over 25 years old and may require future attention or replacement.
Ongoing Maintenance Demands: The desirable amenities such as the private pool, spa, and nearly half-acre lot, while attractive, will require significant ongoing maintenance, time, and financial investment from the new owner.
No Explicit Mention of Central AC: The description highlights owned solar for energy efficiency but does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a consideration for comfort during warmer months in Southern California.
