TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1974, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features significant updates including tile flooring throughout (no carpet), recessed lighting, and modern laundry appliances. The kitchen and breakfast bar are functional and clean, though the white appliances and cabinetry style are slightly dated, placing it in the 5-15 year renovation bracket.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Great Schools
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
- Prime Coastal Location
Situated West of I-5 in the highly desirable Cardiff Cove, the property offers immediate access to San Elijo Lagoon trails, beaches, and the Cardiff town center within a 1.5-mile radius.
- Modern Interior Upgrades
The unit features low-maintenance tile flooring throughout, recessed lighting, and the significant convenience of an in-unit laundry room with full-size appliances.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Bathroom Count
With only one bathroom serving two bedrooms, the layout may be less convenient for roommates or small families compared to modern two-bath configurations.
