Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this unit shows its age, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features dated white cabinets, older white appliances (except for a newer stainless steel refrigerator), and what appears to be original or very old tile flooring and countertops. Bathrooms also present with older white vanities, cultured marble tops, and dated tile. While there are positive updates such as newer grey laminate flooring in the living areas and a second bedroom, and fresh paint, these are cosmetic and do not constitute a full renovation. The property is functional and well-maintained but requires minor updates to modernize the key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in the desirable Del Cerro neighborhood of San Diego, offering excellent access to shopping and freeways, within a gated community at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Views & Natural Light: As a top-floor end unit, it benefits from abundant natural light and beautiful views from both the unit and its large balcony.
Community Amenities: The Villa Fontaine community provides desirable amenities including a beautiful central pool and the added security of a gated entrance.
Convenient Features: Includes practical in-unit laundry and dedicated parking with a one-car garage plus an additional parking space.
Strong School District: Located within a highly-rated school district, including Lewis Middle (8/10) and Patrick Henry High (8/10), appealing to families.
Cons
High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $496.1 is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from $579,000 to $549,000 suggests potential initial overpricing or challenges in attracting buyers.
Building Age & Unit Size: Built in 1980, the property is older, and its 937 sqft for a 2-bedroom unit might be considered compact by some buyers, potentially limiting appeal.
