More Insights
Built in 1991 (34 years old).
Condition: Built in 1991, this property has undergone significant updates that align with a 'Good' condition rating. The description highlights 'upgraded space,' a 'granite kitchen with island, stainless appliances,' 'refreshed spa-like bath with quartz counters,' and 'updated bathrooms,' along with 'newer dual furnaces.' The images confirm these updates, showing modern stainless steel appliances, white kitchen cabinets, and contemporary bathroom finishes (quartz counters, subway tile). While the Spanish tile flooring in the main living areas might be considered a specific style choice rather than universally modern, the property is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. Major systems are updated, and the overall condition reflects a well-maintained home with substantial renovations likely completed within the last 5-15 years, fitting the 'Good' criteria. The primary drawback preventing an 'Excellent' score is the age of the original structure and the lack of explicit mention of central air conditioning.

Prime Location & Community: Located in the prestigious, gated Southridge Estates within the Ocean Hills/Shadowridge community, at the end of a cul-de-sac, offering privacy and a desirable neighborhood. It's minutes to beaches and within walking distance to schools (including Rancho Buena Vista High School), parks, and shopping.

Practicality & Curb Appeal: Includes an oversized 3-car garage for ample storage and parking, complemented by clean curb appeal with artificial turf and tropical palms, ensuring low maintenance.
Cons
Price Reductions & Seller Motivation: Multiple price reductions and the explicit mention of a 'motivated seller' could indicate that the property was initially overpriced or is struggling to attract buyers, potentially signaling a perceived market value discrepancy.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: While newer dual furnaces are mentioned, there is no explicit mention of a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in Oceanside.
Age of Core Systems (Partial): Built in 1991, while many cosmetic and some functional upgrades are noted, other core systems (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical beyond what's mentioned) may be original or nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
