More Insights
Built in 1982 (43 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and appears functional, but the interior design, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly dated. The kitchen features honey oak cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and a mix of white and stainless steel appliances (only the refrigerator appears newer), suggesting renovations, if any, were done 15-30 years ago. Bathrooms also exhibit dated vanities, tile, and fixtures. While the living areas have well-maintained hardwood floors and fresh paint, and the community has recent exterior updates, the unit itself requires minor aesthetic updates to meet current quality standards and buyer preferences.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Carlsbad/La Costa area, known for its excellent quality of life and top-rated schools, enhancing long-term value.
Significant Price Adjustment: A substantial reduction from the original list price positions this property as an attractive value opportunity for buyers seeking to enter a premium market.
Recent Community Upgrades (Paid): Major exterior improvements, including a new roof and fresh paint, are completed and fully paid by the seller, mitigating immediate large assessment risks for the new owner.
Single-Level Floor Plan: Offers convenient and accessible living without stairs, appealing to a wide range of demographics including those seeking ease of mobility.
Private Garage & Storage: Includes a dedicated one-car garage with additional storage, a valuable and practical amenity for condominium living.
Cons
High Monthly Association Fee: The $571.0 monthly association fee is a notable ongoing expense that impacts the total cost of ownership and buyer affordability.
Interior Modernization Potential: The description 'ready for your vision' and 'personalize the space' suggests the interior may require updates or renovation to align with contemporary tastes, incurring additional buyer costs.
Compact Living Space: With 2 bedrooms and 1162 sqft, the property offers limited square footage, which may not suit buyers seeking larger living areas or additional rooms.
