More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1985, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern Shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and contemporary black appliances. Both en-suite bathrooms are updated with 'spa-like' finishes, including modern tile, glass-enclosed showers, separate tubs in the primary, and updated vanities with granite. Flooring throughout is a mix of beautiful hardwood/laminate and tile. While the cosmetic updates are significant and recent, the underlying building systems are from 1985, and the absence of central air conditioning prevents an 'Excellent' rating, which typically implies all major systems are new or virtually new. However, the property is clearly well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, fitting the 'Good' category.

About this home

Turnkey North Park townhome with every convenience right outside your door! Located in a small complex with only 4 units in total, this home has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained. Step inside to beautiful flooring and a highly updated kitchen with lots of light, granite counters, recessed lighting, and Shaker cabinetry. A dining room off of the kitchen creates a defined eating area separate from the incredibly spacious living room, which is anchored by a gorgeous gas fireplace and stone surround. A powder bath and 2 separate, large patios complete this level. One patio is accessed via a gorgeous wood-framed slider right off of the kitchen, and the other is private with high walls on the other side of the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find both generous, light-filled bedrooms, complete with spa-like, en-suite baths and large walk-in closets with high ceilings. The primary bathroom is a true retreat with a separate tub and shower and stunning finishes. The full-sized laundry is on the same level as the bedrooms for convenience. A previously enclosed balcony area provides a separate gym, office, or reading space. The completely converted attic features a sink and built-in storage. It sits on its own level at the top of the townhome, creating endless possibilities for a home office, craft room, yoga studio, and more. The attached 1-car garage is a rare find in this neighborhood, with additional storage to maximize every square foot of the unit. Enjoy an additional tandem parking space in the driveway. Low HOA fees, no Mello-Roos, and access to the amazing North Park lifestyle with shops, restaurants, and events just a short distance away make this property a can't-miss opportunity for those seeking a truly special home in this community!

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort concern and potential drawback during San Diego's warmer months.
