More Insights
Built in 1967 (59 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1967, this property has undergone a comprehensive and recent 'newly remodeled' renovation, as explicitly stated in the description and visually confirmed by the images. The kitchen features modern light wood shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops with a waterfall edge, a stylish white tiled backsplash, and new stainless steel appliances, all meeting current quality standards. Bathrooms are also extensively updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiled showers. The property boasts newer wood-look flooring throughout main living areas, fresh paint, newer windows, and a newly resurfaced pool. All visible components appear new or virtually new, indicating minimal physical depreciation and a move-in ready, turnkey condition. The only minor consideration is the implied absence of central AC, but the overall extent of the recent upgrades warrants an 'excellent' rating for its current condition.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =1006236032, other record lot size in square feet = 23100. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-11-10. The sold price is $740,000.00.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1967, the underlying structure is over 50 years old. While extensively remodeled, some buyers may prefer newer construction for perceived lower maintenance or more modern foundational systems.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning (Implied): The description highlights 'newer windows' but does not mention a central air conditioning system. Given El Cajon's warm climate, this could be a significant omission and a potential costly upgrade for a buyer.
ADU Potential Requires Buyer Verification: While ADU potential is a strength, the 'buyer to verify' clause means the feasibility, cost, and approval process are not confirmed, placing the burden of due diligence on the prospective buyer.
