About this home

Spectacular 3-bedroom, 2-bath END-UNIT home in Clairemont’s highly sought-after northwest neighborhood! Located in the gated Cole Manor community, this rarely available condo offers a light-filled, open 1,188 sq. ft. layout designed for both comfort & style. Recent upgrades include NEW DUAL PANE MILGARD WINDOWS THROUGHOUT, NEW LUXURY VINYL PLANK FLOORING & NEW PLUSH CARPETING. A major perk of living in Cole Manor is that the very low monthly dues cover all utilities except electricity. This means that YOU DON"T PAY FOR WATER, GAS, OR HEATING, and of course that goes for community landscaping and maintenance too! Enjoy a truly central location that is very to close to Interstates 5 and 805, as well as to Route 52...near to everything, yet geographically isolated by distance & elevation to be far enough from the bad air quality generated by the freeways & major road noise & congestion. Living at Cole Manor means that you’ll be “15 minutes to anywhere” in San Diego! Even better, you’re just a 2-minute walk to Clairemont Town Square with its great shopping, dining & spa options, as well as less than a quarter-mile from the scenic hiking & biking trails of Tecolote Canyon. The cherry on top of living in this special little northwest Clairemont location is the unique benefit of the refreshing coastal breezes that consistently roll in from La Jolla’s coastline - only 4.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean!

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1968, this property has received significant recent updates including new dual-pane windows, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and plush carpeting. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are notably dated, featuring older cabinetry, countertops, tile work, and light fixtures. While functional and well-maintained, these key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to align with modern styles and standards, fitting the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional HOA Value: The very low monthly HOA dues cover all utilities except electricity, including water, gas, and heating, significantly reducing monthly living expenses for residents.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Centrally located in a highly sought-after northwest Clairemont neighborhood, offering quick access to Interstates 5, 805, and Route 52, making it '15 minutes to anywhere' in San Diego. It's also a 2-minute walk to Clairemont Town Square and near Tecolote Canyon trails.
Recent Significant Upgrades: The home features new dual-pane Milgard windows throughout, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and new plush carpeting, providing a modern and well-maintained interior.
End-Unit Benefits: As an end-unit, the condo offers enhanced privacy, more natural light, and fewer shared walls compared to interior units, contributing to a more desirable living experience.
Coastal Influence & Air Quality: Benefiting from refreshing coastal breezes from La Jolla's coastline (only 4.5 miles away), the location is geographically isolated from freeway noise and poor air quality, offering a pleasant environment.

Cons

Age of Building Infrastructure: Built in 1968, while cosmetic upgrades are recent, the underlying building infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) may be original or older, potentially leading to future maintenance concerns not covered by HOA.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description highlights coastal breezes but does not mention a cooling system, suggesting the absence of central air conditioning, which could be a drawback during San Diego's warmer months.
Condominium Living Constraints: As a condominium, residents are subject to HOA rules and regulations, and may have limited private outdoor space, which might not appeal to buyers seeking greater autonomy or a private yard.
