Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1987, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age in its interior finishes. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry, tile countertops, and older black appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit outdated vanities and strip light fixtures. While functional, these areas would require substantial updates to meet modern aesthetic and quality standards. Carpeting in the living areas and dated track lighting further contribute to an aged appearance, placing it in the 'fair' category requiring minor to moderate updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Ocean Views: Offers desirable west-facing ocean views and is ideally located within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean, Tourmaline Beach, and vibrant North Pacific Beach amenities including shopping and restaurants.
Abundant Outdoor Living Spaces: Features two private balconies, including a stunning ocean-view balcony off the primary bedroom, and a private patio off the kitchen, enhancing indoor/outdoor living.
Privacy & Natural Ambiance: As a back-corner unit with a private entrance, it benefits from ample natural light, refreshing ocean breezes, and enhanced privacy.
Valuable Parking: Includes a one-car attached garage plus an additional dedicated parking space, a significant advantage in a dense coastal community.
Functional Interior Layout & Amenities: Thoughtfully designed floor plan with a sunken living room, brick fireplace, separate dining area, in-unit washer/dryer, and a convenient main-level guest bathroom.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1987, the property may require updates to systems or finishes to align with modern buyer preferences, as no recent renovations are explicitly mentioned.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: While benefiting from ocean breezes, the absence of a central cooling system could be a drawback for comfort during hotter periods for some buyers.
Townhouse Structure & Potential HOA: As a townhouse, it implies shared walls and likely involves Homeowners Association (HOA) fees, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking complete autonomy or a detached home.
