Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2006, this property is approximately 19 years old, placing it within the 'good' condition category. The unit is move-in ready and appears well-maintained with no immediate renovations required. The kitchen features quality granite countertops and stainless steel appliances that, while likely original, remain functional and stylish. The bathrooms are clean with matching granite vanities. The contemporary cement ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are in excellent shape, and the overall interior shows minimal wear and tear, meeting the standards for a well-kept, mid-aged urban condominium.
This oversized one-bedroom unit features a rare 1.5-bath configuration, contemporary cement ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize natural light and city views.
Situated atop Cortez Hill, the property offers a peaceful residential feel while maintaining immediate walking access to Little Italy, Balboa Park, and major freeway corridors.
The inclusion of two private storage units in the underground parking area provides exceptional utility and value rarely found in downtown condominium living.
The monthly association fee of $984 is relatively high for a one-bedroom unit, which may deter budget-conscious buyers and impact overall affordability.
