Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1987, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features recent cosmetic updates including modern laminate flooring and stainless steel appliances. While the tile countertops and cabinetry are slightly dated, the overall condition is functional and clean, fitting the 5-15 year renovation window.
Elementary School: McKinley Elementary School (9/10).
Perfectly positioned between Balboa Park and the heart of North Park, offering immediate walking access to world-class museums, trails, and a vibrant dining and craft brewery scene.
As a top-floor corner unit in a small seven-unit gated community, the home provides enhanced privacy, superior natural light, and serene tree-top views that are rare for the area.
At 735 square feet for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, the interior living spaces are relatively small and may feel restrictive for some buyers.
The presence of tile countertops and older cabinetry suggests the unit may require additional capital investment for cosmetic modernization to meet current market trends.
"Top-Floor. Corner Unit. Detached Garage. Steps From Balboa Park." WHAT WE LOVE: Some features are worth leading with because buyers know exactly what they mean. More privacy. More natural light. Better views. Better airflow. Less noise. Perched above the street within a gated seven-unit community, this home takes full advantage of all of them. The top-floor, corner-unit location creates a noticeably different living experience, while the oversized balcony feels more like a tree-top perch than a typical condo outdoor space. Inside, the spacious floorplan centers around a cozy fireplace and flows into the kitchen with white cabinetry, tile countertops, and stainless appliances. Add in two bedrooms, two bathrooms, in-unit laundry, a detached garage, and a thoughtfully separated bedroom layout connected by a unique Jack-and-Jill balcony: you've got a home that's as functional as it is comfortable. Then add Balboa Park in one direction and North Park in the other, and you've got one of those locations that reminds you why people move to San Diego in the first place. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT.): One of the biggest surprises about this home is how quickly the environment changes depending on which direction you head. One way leads into the trails, museums, gardens, recreation, and year-round beauty of Balboa Park. The other leads into everything that has made North Park one of San Diego's most beloved communities, from local coffee shops and craft breweries to dining, entertainment, and neighborhood events. Yet despite being so close to both, the home itself feels tucked away. Morning coffee, peering west from the balcony comes with tree-top views and birdsong instead of a view into another building. Evening walks can start in the park and end at your favorite neighborhood restaurant. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a lock-and-leave lifestyle, or simply a home base in one of San Diego's most vibrant locations, this residence delivers something increasingly rare: the ability to be connected to everything while still feeling removed from it when you want to be.
