Despite being built in 2003, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations that bring it to an 'excellent' condition. The description highlights an 'upgraded chef’s kitchen' with 'new Calacatta quartz countertops,' 'top of the line GE Profile stainless appliances,' and 'timeless shaker cabinetry.' The 'beautifully remodeled guest bath' features a 'walk-in shower and designer finishes.' Luxury vinyl plank flooring and modern lighting (recessed and track) are present throughout. The images confirm a pristine, contemporary aesthetic with virtually new components in the kitchen and bathrooms, aligning perfectly with the criteria for an extensively renovated property within the last 5 years, showing no deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons

Premium Downtown Location: Situated in Cortez Hill, a tranquil and established downtown neighborhood, offering walkability to local attractions like Little Italy and Balboa Park, cafes, parks, and quick freeway access.
Modern & Upgraded Kitchen: Features a fully upgraded chef's kitchen with new Calacatta quartz countertops, top-of-the-line GE Profile stainless appliances, timeless shaker cabinetry, and recessed lighting.
Enhanced Interior Features: The unit boasts luxury vinyl plank flooring, expansive windows for natural light, remote shades, a cozy fireplace, custom California Closets in the primary suite, and a beautifully remodeled guest bath.
Private End-Unit with Views: A west-facing end-unit residence providing serene treetop views from a private balcony, enhancing privacy and a peaceful living experience.

Cons

High Association Fees: The monthly association fee of $1163.0 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing cost for ownership, potentially impacting affordability.
Urban Noise Potential: Despite being on the 'peaceful side' of the community, its downtown location inherently carries the potential for urban noise, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking absolute quiet.
Absence of Explicit Cooling System: While San Diego's climate is mild, the description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a consideration for comfort, especially for a west-facing unit during warmer periods.
