Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1973, features an updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, which presents well. The living area has modern dark wood flooring and recessed lighting. However, the overall condition is pulled down by the age of the building (51 years old), the presence of carpet in the bedrooms (age and condition unknown, but typically requires replacement after 10-15 years), and the significant absence of central air conditioning. While the kitchen is a strong point, the bathrooms are not clearly visible or described as updated, and other areas may show signs of being outdated or require minor updates, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria for an aged but maintained property with functional but potentially outdated major components.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Walkability: Direct walking access to Scripps Mercy Hospital and Hillcrest's renowned dining, shopping, and farmer's markets, plus easy reach to Balboa Park and major freeways.
Gorgeous Canyon Views: Unobstructed, picturesque canyon views from key living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen) provide a serene and desirable backdrop.
Modern Kitchen & In-Unit Laundry: Features an updated kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, alongside the convenience of quiet, in-unit stacked Bosch washer/dryer.
Versatile Living Spaces: Offers flexible room configurations, including an expansive master bedroom suitable for a home office and a guest bedroom with a Murphy bed for multi-functional use.
Community Amenities & Dedicated Parking: Residents benefit from community pool and tennis courts, complemented by two assigned parking spaces conveniently located directly in front of the unit.

Cons

Building Age & Potential for Further Updates: Constructed in 1973, while the kitchen is updated, other areas of the unit or common elements may be original, potentially requiring future renovation or maintenance.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $557.0 monthly association fee is substantial and could be a significant ongoing cost for potential buyers.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not indicate the presence of a central air conditioning system, which could be a comfort concern during San Diego's warmer periods.
