Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is well-maintained and functional but shows significant signs of being outdated, consistent with its 1975 construction. While it features some key updates like newer windows, AC, and a stainless steel refrigerator, the kitchen retains older cabinetry and dated tile countertops. The interior aesthetic, including mirrored walls, standard carpeting, and fluorescent light boxes, indicates that while the home has been cared for through regular upkeep, it has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation.
The property features impressive views of the San Marcos mountain peaks and golf course, complemented by an oversized covered patio with vaulted ceilings that significantly extends the living space.
The HOA fee provides exceptional value by including water, trash, cable TV, and high-speed internet, and the current owner has already fully paid the recent special assessment.
Recent improvements including newer windows, sliding doors, AC, and stainless steel appliances offer enhanced energy efficiency and reduce the need for immediate capital expenditures.
Built in 1975, the building may require more frequent maintenance of common areas and infrastructure compared to modern residential developments.
The in-unit laundry is located on the exterior back patio rather than inside the main living quarters, which may be a convenience drawback for some buyers.
