Condition Rating
Excellent

This 1957 mid-century modern home has undergone extensive and very recent high-quality renovations, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria for an 'Excellent' score. Key updates include a brand new roof (July 2024), newer dual-pane windows and doors with a lifetime warranty, remodeled bathrooms, new wood flooring, and updated lighting throughout. The kitchen features modern dark wood cabinetry, light solid-surface countertops, an island with a cooktop, a contemporary range hood, and a full suite of KitchenAid stainless steel appliances (stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher) that all convey. The bathrooms are stylishly updated with modern vanities, black hardware, and contemporary tile work in the walk-in showers. While the absence of central air conditioning is a notable missing feature, the overall condition of the existing and newly installed components is virtually new and meets current quality standards, demonstrating minimal physical depreciation and no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Versatile Expansion Potential: The property offers significant flexibility with the option to enclose a 4th bedroom and the potential to convert the oversized 2-car garage into a separate entry ADU, enhancing its value and utility.
Extensive Recent Capital Improvements: Major updates include newer dual-pane windows/doors (lifetime warranty), remodeled bathrooms, new wood flooring, updated lighting, and a brand new roof (July 2024 with 20-year warranty), significantly reducing immediate buyer expenses.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Curb Appeal: Boasting '10/10 Curb appeal,' custom desert-inspired landscaping with an automated drip system, two covered patio areas, an outdoor fireplace, garden boxes, a dog run with pet turf, and ambient string lighting, creating a private and inviting outdoor oasis.
Mid-Century Modern Charm with Thoughtful Design: The home thoughtfully blends original architectural details like vaulted ceilings, brick walls, and large windows with modern updates, creating a naturally light-filled, open, and aesthetically pleasing living environment.
Energy Efficiency & Appliance Inclusions: Equipped with leased solar panels and battery walls for reduced energy costs, and a well-appointed kitchen with all KitchenAid appliances (stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher) conveying with the sale.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern and potential upgrade cost for buyers, especially during San Diego's warmer months.
Leased Solar System: While providing energy benefits, the solar panels and battery walls are leased, meaning the new owner will inherit a contract and ongoing monthly payments rather than owning the system outright, which can be a deterrent for some buyers.
Compact Interior Square Footage: With 1275 sqft, the interior living space is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom home, which might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more expansive indoor areas, despite the flexible floor plan options.
