Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1990, this property has been 'thoughtfully updated over the years,' presenting as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The visible living spaces, bedrooms, and one bathroom are well-maintained, featuring updated elements like plantation shutters, a bathroom vanity with granite countertops and a tiled shower, and a mix of good condition tile, hardwood, and carpet flooring. While some light fixtures are not ultra-modern, they are functional and in good repair. The overall condition suggests updates within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' criteria, despite the property's age and the potential for older core systems as noted in the listing's weaknesses.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: La Costa Heights Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Prime Encinitas Location: Located in a quiet pocket of Encinitas, just over a mile to Moonlight Beach and minutes to shops, dining, and downtown, offering exceptional convenience and desirability.
Ocean Views & Private Deck: The primary suite features beautiful peek-a-boo ocean views and an attached private deck, enhancing the property's appeal and providing a serene retreat.
No HOA or Mello-Roos: The absence of HOA fees or Mello-Roos taxes significantly reduces ongoing ownership costs, making the property more attractive to buyers.
Desirable Interior Features: The home boasts vaulted ceilings and multiple bright living spaces across a practical 3BR/2.5BA layout, contributing to an open and comfortable living environment.
Outdoor Entertaining Space: French doors open to a well-suited backyard and patio, ideal for entertaining guests and enjoying the Southern California climate.
Cons
Recent Price Adjustment: The property has undergone a recent price reduction from $1.995M to $1.935M, which may suggest initial overpricing or a longer-than-anticipated market duration.
Limited Ocean Views: The description specifies 'peek-a-boo ocean views,' indicating partial or potentially obstructed views rather than expansive, panoramic ocean vistas, which could manage buyer expectations.
Potential for System Updates: Built in 1990, while 'thoughtfully updated over the years,' some core systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
