Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is functional and well-maintained but shows clear signs of being outdated. While the front unit retains historic charm, the kitchens and bathrooms feature older styles such as white tile countertops, gold-trimmed shower enclosures, and basic plastic tub surrounds typical of renovations from 15-20 years ago. The presence of window AC units and a mix of original hardwood, laminate, and older tile flooring indicates that the home has not undergone a recent, comprehensive modernization.
Elementary School: Hearst Elementary School (10/10).
The property features three distinct living spaces—a 2BR/2BA front unit, a 3BR/2BA back unit, and a separate studio—providing exceptional flexibility for rental income, house-hacking, or multi-generational living.
Built in 1928, the home retains its original character with high ceilings, wood flooring, classic arches, and a fireplace, offering a unique aesthetic appeal that is highly sought after in San Diego's historic corridors.
Due to the 1928 construction date, the property may require significant investment in modernizing aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, and foundation to meet current standards.
The front and back units share a common wall, which may reduce privacy for occupants and could be a drawback for buyers seeking a traditional detached single-family experience.
