More Insights
Built in 1970 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this property has undergone significant recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is 'sparkling' with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and new countertops. New laminate wood flooring and fresh interior paint are present throughout. The bathroom is updated with a tiled tub/shower and a modern vanity, though the tile style is functional and clean rather than cutting-edge contemporary. While many components are new or virtually new, the property's age and the lack of explicit mention of all major system replacements (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' score. However, it is clearly well-maintained and presents very well.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Approved Junior ADU Plans: The property comes with approved plans for a Junior ADU, offering significant value addition, income generation potential, or flexible multi-generational living options.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Recent renovations include a sparkling kitchen, new flooring, fresh interior paint, new fencing, and a covered patio, enhancing immediate livability and aesthetic appeal.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as move-in ready, the property minimizes immediate buyer effort and renovation costs, allowing for quick occupancy.
Income-Producing Potential: The approved ADU plans provide a clear and tangible opportunity for generating rental income, boosting the property's investment appeal.
Practical Off-Alley Parking: The inclusion of off-alley driveway parking is a valuable and convenient amenity, especially in an urban residential setting.
Cons
Required Renovation for ADU Realization: While ADU plans are approved, the buyer will need to undertake the construction and reconfiguration to fully realize the ADU's potential, incurring additional costs and project management.
Older Core Structure (1970): Despite recent cosmetic upgrades, the property's original construction year (1970) suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be older and could require future maintenance or upgrades not covered by current renovations.
No Mention of Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a comfort concern for buyers during warmer periods in San Diego.
