Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old. While the kitchen features updated dark cabinets and white solid-surface countertops, the range and hood appear older, and the white tile flooring is dated. The main bathroom is significantly outdated with an old vanity, light fixture, and a worn, built-in storage cabinet. Living areas have recessed lighting but retain popcorn ceilings and an 80s-style brick fireplace. The property is functional but requires substantial cosmetic updates and a full bathroom renovation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'blank slate' description.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Living Space: With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 2200 sqft, this single-family home offers ample space for a large family or flexible living arrangements.
Extensive Outdoor Amenities: The property boasts a modern back patio, significant backyard space for entertaining and family BBQs, and abundant open areas in both front and back yards, ideal for gardening and outdoor activities.
Customization Opportunity: Described as a 'blank slate' ready for 'personal touch' and 'design imagination,' it presents a unique opportunity for buyers to personalize and add value according to their taste.
Practical Features: Includes a convenient 2-car garage, providing essential parking and additional storage space.
Desirable Location: Situated in Mira Mesa, a well-regarded San Diego neighborhood, and within the reputable San Diego Unified High School District, enhancing its appeal to families.
Cons
Potential for Dated Interiors/Systems: Built in 1984, the property is 40 years old, suggesting that interior finishes, appliances, and potentially major systems may require significant updates to meet modern standards, as implied by the 'blank slate' description.
Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current list price is approximately 9% higher than the property's estimated value, which could impact buyer interest and negotiation leverage in the current market.
Lack of Desirable Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic vistas, a feature that often adds significant value in the California real estate market.
