Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1990, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but its interior finishes, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly dated. The kitchen features white tile countertops and backsplash, a large fluorescent light fixture, and basic white cabinets, despite having newer stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms also show older vanity styles and lighting. Flooring is a mix of dated large square tiles and clean carpet. While functional and clean, the property requires cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria for a home built over 20 years ago with no major recent renovations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Ocean and Sunset Views: The property boasts desirable ocean and sunset views from both levels, including the main living area and primary suite lanai, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Prime Coastal Location: Situated in the highly sought-after coastal community of Leucadia, Encinitas, offering easy access to Beacons Beach, local restaurants, Orpheus Park, and the Encinitas Farmers Market, providing an exceptional lifestyle.
Stand-Alone Condominium Unit: As a stand-alone condominium unit, it offers enhanced privacy and reduced shared wall noise compared to typical attached condo units, combining the benefits of a condo with some aspects of a single-family home.
Attached 2-Car Garage: The convenience of an attached two-car garage is a significant advantage, providing secure parking and additional storage, which is highly valued in coastal communities.
Versatile Bonus Room: An additional bonus room offers flexible space that can be utilized as an office, storage, or for other personal needs, adding practical value and adaptability to the home.
Cons
Ongoing Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $410 represents a recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget, which can impact overall affordability and appeal for some.
Price Reduction History: Multiple price reductions from the original list price suggest the property may have been initially overpriced or is experiencing challenges in attracting buyers at its current valuation, potentially indicating a longer time on market.
Age of Property: Built in 1990, the property is over three decades old. Without explicit mention of recent comprehensive renovations, it may require updates to its interior finishes or systems to meet modern buyer expectations.
