Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this property is functional and currently income-producing but shows signs of age consistent with a 'Fair' rating. While the main house and units are livable, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated styles and standard appliances rather than modern upgrades. The explicit mention of needing retroactive permitting for the ADU and studio suggests that while the structures are maintained, they may not fully meet current building codes or modern quality standards without further investment.
The property features a main house plus two additional units, including a detached 1-bedroom currently generating $1,800/month, offering significant mortgage-offsetting income or high yields for investors.

Ideally situated near schools, shopping, and freeways, and just minutes from Downtown San Diego and the Naval Base, ensuring high rental demand and long-term desirability.
