Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2007 (17 years old), the property falls within the 10-20 year age bracket for 'Good' condition. The unit is move-in ready with a functional kitchen featuring white cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, updated flooring, and well-maintained central HVAC and in-unit laundry systems.
The residence features a rare dedicated exterior staircase providing direct access to the unit, offering a level of privacy and convenience seldom found in high-density downtown condominium living.
Includes a secure underground parking space equipped with a mechanical vehicle lift, allowing for the storage of two compact vehicles—a significant value-add in the parking-constrained San Diego urban core.
Situated in a highly desirable and walkable neighborhood, providing residents with immediate access to Little Italy, Balboa Park, and major freeways while maintaining a quieter residential feel.
The monthly association fee of $636 is relatively high for a one-bedroom unit of this size, which may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact the overall investment yield.
With only 671 square feet of living area, the property offers a limited footprint that may feel restrictive for those requiring more storage or a dedicated home office space.
