More Insights

Built in 1987 (38 years old).
Condition: Built in 1987, this property's interior, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, largely retains its original or early 90s aesthetic. The kitchen features dated oak cabinets, white ceramic tile countertops, and tile flooring. The bathroom also presents an older style vanity and light fixtures. While functional and appearing well-maintained, these key areas show significant signs of being outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet contemporary design standards.

Exceptional Coastal Location: Ideally located within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean, Tourmaline Beach, and the vibrant coastal energy of North Pacific Beach, with convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and Gelson's market.
Panoramic Ocean Views & Natural Light: This west-facing, ocean-view back-corner unit is filled with beautiful natural light and ocean breezes, featuring a stunning ocean-view balcony off the primary bedroom.
Abundant Outdoor Living Spaces: The property boasts two balconies and one private outdoor patio, perfect for morning coffee, al fresco dining, and seamless indoor/outdoor living.
Private Access & Parking: Offers the privacy of its own entrance, a one-car attached garage, and an additional dedicated parking space, a significant advantage in this dense coastal area.
Functional & Charming Interior Layout: Features a thoughtfully designed floor plan including a sunken living room with a brick fireplace, a separate dining area, a sunny kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and a convenient main-level guest bathroom.

Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description emphasizes ocean breezes but does not mention a cooling system, which could be a drawback for some buyers during warmer periods or for those sensitive to heat.
Townhome Configuration: As a townhome unit, it implies shared walls and potential HOA fees/regulations, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking the complete independence of a detached single-family home.
Potential for Dated Components: Built in 1987, while described as charming, some original systems or finishes might eventually require updates to align with contemporary preferences or efficiency standards, despite the positive description.
