Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1985, benefits from significant recent system upgrades including HVAC (2022), windows/doors (2020), and a new water heater (2021), making it functionally sound and well-maintained. However, the kitchen and bathrooms, while clean and functional, feature dated aesthetics such as honey oak cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and fluorescent box lighting. These elements suggest an aesthetic renovation that occurred 15-25 years ago, rather than within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of major components being functional but showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor cosmetic updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 30492, living area = 2388.
Panoramic Views: The property boasts breathtaking panoramic views of city lights, canyons, and hills, a highly desirable feature in the Mount Helix community.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Significant infrastructure improvements include a full HVAC replacement (2022), new windows/doors (2020), new water heater (2021), and recent interior/exterior paint (2019), minimizing immediate maintenance for buyers.
Exceptional Outdoor Living: Features a sparkling pool, exceptional outdoor living spaces, and fruit-bearing trees, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the Southern California climate.
Prime Location & Privacy: Situated in the coveted Mount Helix community, known for its desirability, comfort, and privacy, offering a premium lifestyle.
Energy Efficiency: A leased solar system (SunRun) contributes to near-zero SDGE bills, providing significant long-term cost savings on utilities.

Cons

Leased Solar System: The solar system is leased (SunRun), which may require assumption of the lease by the buyer and could be a factor in financing or resale for some.
Potential for Dated Interior Aesthetics: While infrastructure is updated, the description does not detail recent aesthetic renovations to key interior spaces like kitchens (beyond a dishwasher) or bathrooms, potentially indicating original or dated finishes.
Age of Core Structure: Built in 1985, the core structure and layout, despite recent system upgrades, may reflect an older architectural style that some buyers might wish to modernize further.
