Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1980, making it over 40 years old. While the kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, newer cabinets, and Dekton countertops, and the ground floor half bath and flooring have also been updated, the overall condition is not consistently modern. Images reveal popcorn ceilings in the bedrooms, dated carpet, and a visible stain on one bedroom ceiling, indicating deferred maintenance or needed repairs. The kitchen's cabinet style and fluorescent lighting, while functional, are not contemporary. Furthermore, the listing explicitly states 'ALL CASH BUYERS ONLY, due to HOA special assessment for balcony repairs / replacement for the building by years end,' which points to significant building-wide issues and potential costs for the buyer. These factors collectively place the property in the 'Fair' category, as it requires minor updates/repairs within the unit and is part of a building with known major repair needs.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Urban Location: Situated in Bankers Hill, offering proximity to Balboa Park, walking distance to restaurants, and easy access to freeways and downtown San Diego.
Modern Interior Updates: Recently updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, newer cabinets, Dekton countertops, and updated flooring/stairwell throughout.
Dedicated Parking: Includes two dedicated carport parking spaces, a valuable amenity in a dense urban environment.
Convenient Amenities: Features in-unit stackable washer/dryer and an additional storage locker, enhancing livability.
Private Outdoor Space with View: Offers a city view balcony off the primary bedroom, providing desirable outdoor space.

Cons

Strict Cash-Only Requirement: The property is exclusively available to cash buyers, drastically limiting market appeal and excluding buyers reliant on traditional financing.
Significant HOA Special Assessment: An upcoming HOA special assessment for balcony repairs/replacement is mandated by year-end, posing a substantial and immediate financial burden for the buyer.
Refrigerator Not Included: The refrigerator does not convey with the sale, requiring the new owner to purchase and install their own unit.
