Condition Rating
Fair
The condo, built in 1985, is move-in ready with recent updates like fresh paint and new stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets are an older style, and the bathroom's tile work and light fixtures, while clean and functional, appear dated. The property is well-maintained but shows signs of its age and offers clear opportunities for future aesthetic upgrades, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Top Floor & Enhanced Privacy: As a top-floor unit with no neighbors above, the property offers superior privacy and reduced noise, a highly desirable feature for condo living.
Desirable Views: The condo boasts appealing city views, providing an attractive backdrop and enhancing the living experience.
Recent Updates & Move-in Ready: Featuring fresh paint and new appliances, the unit is move-in ready, minimizing immediate expenses for the new owner.
Prime Central Location: Centrally located in the sought-after Normal Heights neighborhood of San Diego, offering convenient access to local amenities and attractions.
Comprehensive Amenities & Parking: The property includes two parking spaces (one covered), an in-unit washing machine, and access to community amenities like a pool and jacuzzi.
Cons
Age of Building & Upgrade Potential: Built in 1985, the building is older, and while some updates have been made, the description notes 'room to upgrade and value add,' indicating potential for further investment.
Compact Living Space: At 858 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, the living space is relatively compact, which may not suit all buyer preferences.
High Monthly Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $503 is substantial for a unit of this size, adding a significant recurring cost for homeowners.
