Fair
Built in 1989, this townhome is well-maintained but shows its age in terms of style and finishes. The kitchen features dated white tile countertops and backsplash, along with light wood cabinets that appear to be from an older renovation or original, despite having updated stainless steel appliances. While some areas have laminate wood flooring, the living room retains older carpeting. The visible bathroom vanity is a minor update but not fully modern. The property is functional and livable but requires significant cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen, to meet current buyer expectations and styles.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: La Costa Heights Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Prime Location & School District: Located in Carlsbad, offering proximity to The Forum Shops and beaches, coupled with access to top-rated Encinitas/Carlsbad schools, including La Costa Heights Elementary (rating 9).
Gated Community & Amenities: Secure, gated community (Monarch Villas) with desirable amenities such as a pool, spa, and tennis court, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Functional Layout & End-Unit: End-unit townhome providing increased privacy and natural light, featuring a versatile loft space suitable for a home office or gym, and a bright living area.
Attached Garage with Storage: Convenient 2-car attached garage with an oversized storage area, a significant advantage for townhome living.
Spacious Primary Suite: The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, a highly sought-after feature for modern buyers.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =112820, other record lot size in square feet = 112763. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Property Age: Built in 1989, the property is over three decades old, which may imply a need for updates to interior finishes or systems to meet contemporary buyer expectations, if not already done.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $585 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a deterrent for some buyers, impacting overall affordability.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price drop from $999,900 to $949,000 suggests potential overpricing initially or market resistance, which might lead buyers to expect further negotiation.
