Enhanced Outdoor Space & Parking: Generous private yards with new concrete patios, extensive secure off-street parking, and a Tesla EV charging station cater to modern lifestyle and convenience.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Despite significant remodels, the 1954 original build year means the underlying structure is older, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or structural considerations over time.
Average School Rating: The assigned high school (Del Mar High School) has a rating of 5, which may be a consideration for families prioritizing higher-rated public school options in the competitive Silicon Valley market.
Compact Unit Sizes: While described as spacious, the total 1750 sqft for two 3-bedroom units implies individual unit sizes are relatively compact (approx. 875 sqft each), which might limit appeal for those seeking larger living spaces.
