Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1957, the property shows clear signs of a mid-range renovation likely within the last 10-15 years, including updated tile flooring, newer carpet, and fresh paint. The units appear well-maintained and move-in ready; however, the presence of older wall heaters and basic white appliances indicates it is functional rather than modern.
This side-by-side duplex offers excellent flexibility for owner-occupants to 'house hack' or for investors to capitalize on two rental streams in a high-demand San Diego market.
The property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, reducing the need for immediate capital expenditures and ensuring immediate rental desirability.
Situated on a desirable corner lot, the property provides convenient access to Downtown San Diego and major freeways, appealing to a wide pool of urban commuters.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =4356, other record lot size in square feet = 4225.
With a total of 1,386 square feet split between two units, the individual 2-bedroom layouts are relatively compact, which may limit appeal for tenants seeking larger living areas.
Several assigned schools in the immediate area carry lower performance ratings, which could be a deterrent for long-term family tenants and impact future resale value.
