* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1974, the unit has undergone a full modern remodel within the last 5 years. Features include a completely updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, a modernized bathroom, new flooring, recessed lighting, and upgraded systems including triple-pane windows and dual EV charging ports. The property is in mint, turnkey condition.
The inclusion of two side-by-side garage spaces equipped with dual EV charging ports is a rare and highly valuable asset for a one-bedroom unit in an urban neighborhood.
Ideally situated steps from Balboa Park and the vibrant dining scene of Fifth and Sixth Avenues, offering exceptional walkability and access to San Diego's top cultural attractions.
The residence features a fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom, triple-pane windows for superior noise insulation, and an oversized private patio that significantly extends the living area.
At $630 per month, the association fees are relatively high for a one-bedroom condo, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for potential buyers.
Constructed in 1974, the building may lack the modern architectural style and extensive communal amenities found in the newer luxury high-rise developments nearby.
Welcome to 540 Hawthorn St, Unit 1A — a beautifully updated corner residence in the heart of Bankers Hill. This first-floor corner unit lives large, with oversized bay windows on two sides that flood the space with natural light all day long. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with granite countertops, updated cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom has been given the same thoughtful, modern touch. Triple-pane glass windows keep things quiet and efficient, and an in-unit stackable washer/dryer means everyday convenience is built right in. Outside is your oversized private patio, one of the best outdoor spaces in the building, with room to lounge, dine and take in the views. Parking is a breeze too, with two side-by-side garage spaces equipped with 2 EV charging ports, one for each spot. Location is everything here. You're just steps from Balboa Park's trails, gardens and museums, and a short stroll to some of the city's best restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques along Fifth and Sixth Avenue. Bankers Hill sits right between downtown and Hillcrest, so you get a walkable, tree-lined neighborhood feel while staying minutes from everything San Diego has to offer, from the airport to the bay to the beaches. This is corner-unit living at its best. Come see it for yourself.
