Condition Rating
Good

This property, rebuilt in 2004, is in good condition, aligning with a property extensively renovated within 15-20 years. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, which are good quality but the overall style (dark wood cabinets, mosaic backsplash, pendant lights) leans towards a more traditional aesthetic that, while well-maintained, is not 'newly built' or 'fully renovated recently' in terms of contemporary design trends. The bathrooms are well-appointed with modern fixtures, vessel sinks, and a luxurious steam shower, indicating a higher standard. Flooring is a mix of tile and hardwood, both in good condition. All major systems appear functional and well-maintained, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, but some elements like kitchen lighting and backsplash might be considered for minor updates by a buyer seeking a more current style.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coastal Location & Panoramic Views: Prime location in the heart of Ocean Beach, just five blocks from the beach, offering stunning ocean breezes, golden sunsets, and panoramic views from multiple decks.
Modernized & High-Quality Construction: Rebuilt from the ground up in 2004, blending timeless Spanish architecture with modern comfort, a chef's kitchen, and a spa-inspired primary suite with a steam shower.
Significant Income & ADU Potential: Proven income flexibility through successful Airbnb use, R-2 Minor zoning, and an oversized garage with potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Luxurious Outdoor Living Spaces: Features a private courtyard oasis with a jacuzzi and full privacy fencing, along with three large view decks perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Flexible Living Spaces: A versatile top-floor flex space offers adaptability as an optional third bedroom, home office, or creative studio to suit various lifestyle needs.

Cons

Compact Interior Square Footage: At 1403 sqft, the interior living space may be considered relatively compact for some buyers, especially given the multi-level layout and price point.
Multi-Level Accessibility: The three-story design inherently involves frequent use of stairs, which could be a drawback for buyers with mobility concerns or those preferring single-level living.
Urban Coastal Environment: While a prime location, being 'in the Heart of OB' and close to the beach may expose the property to increased foot traffic or potential ambient noise.
