Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Updates: The property boasts significant recent improvements including a fully replaced electric panel, new windows, renovated bathrooms, updated blinds, a rebuilt balcony, and refreshed kitchen elements, offering exceptional peace of mind and a move-in-ready condition.
Desirable Community & Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Shadow Glen community within San Carlos, San Diego, providing access to a desirable neighborhood and amenities.
Bright & Open Living Spaces: Features an open living area with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, a cozy fireplace, and hardwood floors, creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere with an effortless split-level flow.
End-Unit Advantage: As an end-unit townhome, it typically offers more privacy, additional windows for natural light, and potentially fewer shared walls compared to interior units.
Access to Quality Schools: The property benefits from proximity to several well-rated public schools, including Patrick Henry High School (rating 8) and West Hills High School (rating 7), appealing to families.
Cons
High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $534.0 per month is substantial and will add a significant recurring cost to homeownership, impacting overall affordability.
Townhome Living Limitations: Despite being an end-unit, the property is a townhome, which generally means shared walls and potentially less private outdoor space or yard than a detached single-family home.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months in San Diego, potentially requiring future installation or reliance on alternative cooling methods.
