Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1910, this property retains charming original features like hardwood floors and moldings. While some systems like HVAC (central A/C and mini-splits) and certain light fixtures have been updated, the kitchens are significantly outdated with tile countertops, tile backsplashes, and older appliances, requiring substantial renovation. Some bathrooms also feature dated tile work and fixtures, though one shows more recent updates. The property is well-maintained for its age but needs considerable cosmetic updates in key areas to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Development Potential: A variance has been granted, and the property sits on an almost 7,000 SF lot with alley access, offering significant upside for expansion or adding additional units beyond its current duplex configuration.
Prime & Desirable Location: Located in historic Golden Hill, the property boasts a central, walkable location minutes from Downtown, Balboa Park, and other vibrant neighborhoods, known for its eclectic charm and urban convenience.
Strong Income Generating Opportunity: Currently arranged as a duplex with separate utilities (washer/dryer, water heater, HVAC) and parking for each unit, it's ideal for an owner-occupant seeking rental income or investors looking for Airbnb potential.
Historic Charm & Character: Built in the early 1900s, the property retains timeless character with grand rooms, original hardwood floors, and classic moldings, appealing to those who appreciate historic architecture.
Modern Unit Comforts & Ample Parking: Both units feature modern amenities such as central heat/air or mini-splits, individual washer/dryers, and water heaters, complemented by 2+ dedicated parking spaces off the alley for each unit.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Constructed in 1910, the property, despite its charm, may require ongoing maintenance or updates to older systems (plumbing, electrical, roof) that are typical for homes of this vintage.
As-Is Sale Condition: The property is being sold 'as-is,' indicating the seller will not undertake repairs, which may necessitate immediate or future capital investment from the buyer for any necessary renovations or deferred maintenance.
Potential for Extensive Renovation Costs: While offering development upside, realizing this potential or fully modernizing the existing structure could involve substantial renovation expenses and time, beyond the initial purchase price.
