More Insights

Built in 1969 (57 years old).
Condition: This property is move-in ready and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria. While the building was constructed in 1969, the unit has undergone significant updates, including 'refreshed bathrooms' (one of which appears quite modern) and 'hardwood floors' in the living areas, which are in excellent condition. The kitchen is functional and clean, though some appliances and the overall style are not ultra-modern, suggesting a refresh rather than a full, recent high-end renovation. No immediate major renovations are required, and the property presents a clean and comfortable living space.

It's rare to find a refreshed 2br/2ba one-level home in the prime center of Banker's Hill for this money! Open layout with large rooms, refreshed bathrooms, hardwood floors, and a private balcony! Located among the numerous Victorian classics in the area and it's only one block over from everyone's favorite, Hob Nob Hill Restaurant! The last sale in the complex was #17 and it closed for $762,000 in July! Amenities include the gated garage (with storage), community pool, spa, sauna, gym, and laundry facilities.

Two domestic pets allowed too - and you can add a washer/dryer in the unit with a permit! Wow! *** The following is from AI: The area acquired the name "Bankers Hill" because of its reputation as a home for the affluent.

Requa, Hazel W. Waterman, and Frank Mead designed homes in the area.***Proximity to Balboa Park: Often called the neighborhood's "backyard," the 1,200-acre park provides immediate access to 17 museums, the San Diego Zoo, world-class gardens, and miles of trails.*** Central Hub: You are less than two miles (approx. 5–10 minutes) from Downtown business districts and the San Diego International Airport, making it ideal for frequent travelers and professionals. *** Access to Vibrant Districts: The neighborhood is within walking distance to the dining centers of Little Italy and the nightlife of Hillcrest.***Walker's Paradise: With a Walk Score typically above 90, many daily errands—from coffee shops to small grocers—can be completed on foot *** Public Transit: The area is served by multiple MTS bus lines that connect directly to Downtown trolley stations, allowing for easy travel across the region without a car *** Historic Charm: The neighborhood features meticulously maintained 19th-century Victorian, Craftsman, and Spanish Revival homes, some designed by renowned architects like Irving Gill.
