About This Home

As of September 2020

Looking for Backup Offers, will leave LB on property. Complete remodel, popcorn/wallpaper/old flooring are all gone. New quartz kitchen counters, beautiful cork flooring in entry, powder room, kitchen & upstairs bathrooms. New paint, new bath vanities, new toilets, new upstairs deck from the joists up. New sliders in the MBR & Extra room upstairs. This home is move in perfect. Show it cold, it's just drop dead gorgeous with the same wonderful views of Escondido Creek & RSF. This private home provides single family detached living in a PUD with reasonable HOA fees and a quiet serene [hence Lake Val Sereno] setting. Owner turned the remodel over to Broker and she stripped out all the bad and left the good. The popcorn ceilings were scraped; the very dated wallpaper & flooring were removed. Then the fun began: new quartz counters on top of the new [in 2006] kitchen cabinets, new Whirlpool appliances, including Stove/Oven, Microwave, Dishwasher and a Refrigerator with bottom freezer & French door upper; all in Stainless Steel. The new Cork flooring has a 30 year warranty & it is in the kitchen, entry & entry closet and the powder room. Speaking of Powder room, don’t miss the furniture like bombe mahogany vanity/sink and the new Kohler elongated low flow toilets throughout the home. The home is freshly painted with new carpeting or cork flooring throughout. Look at the beautiful walnut bookshelf system with a fresh re-finish. The tambour door in the center of the bookshelf was to cover the old fashioned televisions, but since now days they are flat and can go anywhere, a wet bar could be easily plumbed in the space. Don’t miss the stained & leaded glass cabinet inserts in the bookshelf that are back lit and look lovely at night. The fireplace is surrounded by woodwork to compliment the bookshelf. Upstairs the master bedroom has a fireplace the owners never lit or used—there is not gas plumbed to it, so the Owner & Broker do not warrant its usability. The master bath has all new cabinet vanities with vessel sinks and a separate water closet with new Kohler toilet; don’t miss the cork flooring either. See the cavernous walk-in closet with lots of hanging space. The second bedroom has its own walk-in closet too. The extra room with the wood paneling could be turned into a third bedroom by taking the wall up to the ceiling and adding a closet or Murphy bed. The second bedroom and extra room share the 2nd bathroom with vanity cabinets and sink with new Kohler toilet installed with the same 30 year warranted cork flooring. The home also has a huge full basement that currently only houses the water-heater and FAG furnace. With an interested Buyer the Broker will show it to all interested parties. With HOA permission—which has been granted in the past—the Broker & Owner feel that a family room and or family room plus bedroom and bathroom could be added below. The access could be from a new continuation of the stairway down. There would have to be some removal of dirt and shoring but it could possibly add about 500 or more square feet to the home. A walk out patio could be added to give access to the outside and the views. Anyone interested in such a remodel would have to confirm the feasibility with not only the HOA but a contractor. And neither Broker nor Owner warrant Buyer’s ability to do such a remodel and as such will not be held liable for Buyer’s possible inability to do anything with the basement area. Broker will show interested Buyers not only the basement area but photographs and paperwork from previous water intrusion/mold problems in the Kitchen that Owner repaired in 2006. Please review & show to prospective Buyers all disclosures hereby attached prior to writing an offer. The latest HOA Board of Director’s Executive Summary stated that they recommended a special assessment be levied upon all of the 105 Units. That assessment was to make up for accumulated deficiency for the Current Fisca

The latest HOA Board of Director’s Executive Summary stated that they recommended a special assessment be levied upon all of the 105 Units. That assessment was to make up for accumulated deficiency for the Current Fiscal Year and would amount to just under $5,000 per unit. Neither Owner nor Broker knows of the plans to implement this recommendation. It should be noted that Broker feels that the HOA Reserves are approximately 50% underfunded. It should be noted that this is not at all unusual for HOA’s in San Diego County, Broker has not seen any HOA that is fully Reserve funded. Any questions about this should be taken up with the Board of Directors of the Val Sereno #2 HOA.
