Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2003, the property is 23 years old and largely retains its original finishes. The kitchen features dated maple-toned cabinetry and standard tile flooring typical of the early 2000s. While the unit is well-maintained and move-in ready, the age of the primary systems and lack of a recent full renovation place it in the Fair category.
Unlike the standard 2-bedroom inventory common in downtown San Diego, this 1,285 sq ft corner unit offers a versatile three-bedroom layout ideal for families or remote professionals.
The monthly dues provide exceptional utility coverage, including gas, water, and high-speed Wi-Fi, leaving electricity as the resident's only utility responsibility.
The property features premium lifestyle amenities such as a 10th-floor rooftop lap pool and 24/7 concierge security, ensuring both luxury and peace of mind.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
At $1,274 per month, the association fees are significant and may impact the overall affordability or debt-to-income ratio for prospective buyers.
Located on the 5th floor, the unit may lack the expansive, unobstructed 'high-rise' views and noise buffer found in the building's upper-level residences.
