Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

The property is in high-quality, move-in ready condition with premium custom finishes.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: Rancho Romero Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Los Cerros Middle School (9/10). High School: Monte Vista High School (10/10).

  • Gourmet Chef's Kitchen

    The kitchen is a standout feature with a professional-grade Lacanche range, patinated copper vent hood, and striking green marble countertops, perfect for high-end culinary needs.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.

  • Disconnected Fourth Bedroom

    The fourth bedroom is located on a separate upper level as a bonus room, which may feel isolated for families with young children who prefer all bedrooms on one floor.

  • Specific Design Aesthetic

    While high-quality, the 2001 custom finishes like green marble and rich cabinetry may feel dated to modern buyers seeking a more neutral or contemporary palette.
