Pros & Cons

Pros

Architectural Pedigree & Modern Updates: Designed by award-winning local architect Derek Heeb and recently refreshed with new paint, carpets, and refinished wood floors, ensuring a contemporary and well-maintained aesthetic.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency: Features a seller-owned solar panel system with a backup Tesla battery, significantly reducing utility costs and promoting sustainable living.
Premium Location & Accessibility: Situated in the highly sought-after Hillcrest neighborhood on a quiet, private street, offering excellent proximity to downtown San Diego, the airport, Balboa Park, and local amenities.
Luxury Amenities & Panoramic Views: Boasts a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, a rooftop deck with a fireplace and sweeping city views, and overall panoramic views, enhancing lifestyle and entertainment.
Financial Advantage & Flexibility: Benefits from no HOA or Mello Roos fees, providing significant long-term savings, and offers flexible living spaces including two open lofts and an option for a third bedroom.

Cons

Limited Dedicated Bedrooms: The property is configured with 2 bedrooms and an 'option for a 3rd,' along with open lofts, which may not meet the privacy needs of buyers requiring more enclosed, dedicated sleeping or office spaces.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant consideration for comfort during San Diego's warmer periods.
Modest Lot Size for Luxury Segment: While well-landscaped, the 6,482 sqft lot might be perceived as smaller than expected for a luxury property at this price point, potentially limiting extensive outdoor development or a grander sense of space.
