Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1940, this property is explicitly described as a 'Fixer with lots of potential' and states it 'Needs everything.' This indicates that all major systems, including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, are likely original or severely outdated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, would undoubtedly be in very poor condition, requiring complete renovation to meet modern standards. The property's advanced age and the explicit need for comprehensive updates align perfectly with the 'Poor' condition criteria, suggesting it may be uncomfortable or unsafe to live in its current state without significant investment.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in South Escondido, the property offers convenient access to local amenities and is exceptionally close to Felicita Elementary School (0.27 miles).
Significant Value-Add Potential: Explicitly described as a 'Fixer with lots of potential,' this property presents a substantial opportunity for renovation and equity growth for investors or owner-occupants.
Generous Lot Size: The 7,000 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space, offering possibilities for landscaping, expansion, or recreational activities.
Recent Price Adjustment: The current list price of $539,000 reflects a recent reduction from its previous pending price of $599,000 and original list price of $549,000, potentially offering a more attractive entry point for buyers.
Functional Layout: The property features a practical 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration, providing a functional living space suitable for various family needs.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property explicitly 'needs everything,' indicating a significant investment in time, capital, and effort for comprehensive updates and repairs to bring it to modern standards.
Advanced Age of Property: Built in 1940, the home is likely to require updates to its major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes, which may entail considerable costs.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property is noted as having 'None' for views, which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic surroundings or a premium aesthetic.
