Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1999, this property has undergone significant recent upgrades, including paid solar, Tesla Powerwall batteries, an EV charger, and a 'spa-like' primary suite with a walk-in shower and jacuzzi tub. The main kitchen features white shaker cabinets, black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances (including a new dishwasher), presenting a clean and functional aesthetic. The separate attached apartment with its own full kitchen and HVAC further enhances its appeal and functionality. While the primary bathroom's tile color might reflect an early 2000s style, its features are modern and well-maintained. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and its major systems are either new or well-maintained, aligning perfectly with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Located in the highly desirable Cardiff By The Sea community, offering a short stroll to the beach, Seaside Market, and top-rated Cardiff and Encinitas schools, making it a sought-after address.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency: Features paid solar, two Tesla Powerwall batteries, and an EV charger, significantly reducing utility costs and providing energy independence, complemented by a new roof (scheduled for 2025).
Flexible Living & Income Potential: Includes a separate attached apartment with a private entrance, full kitchen, and independent HVAC, offering ideal flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.
Community Amenities & Low Maintenance: The HOA maintains front and side yards, reducing homeowner responsibilities, and residents enjoy access to a community pool and spa, enhancing lifestyle.
Modern Interior Upgrades: The main home boasts recent upgrades including a new dishwasher, a spa-like primary suite with double vanity and jacuzzi tub, new soundproofed glass in the office, and ample storage.

Cons

Monthly HOA Dues: A recurring association fee of $360.00 per month adds to the overall cost of homeownership, which some buyers may find significant.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: With a lot size of 3087 sqft and HOA maintaining front and side yards, the property likely offers limited private backyard space for extensive personal landscaping or outdoor entertaining.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1999, while extensively upgraded, the core structure is over two decades old, which might imply potential for future maintenance on systems not explicitly mentioned as new.
