About This Property
Welcome to this beautifully remodeled coastal condo just two blocks from the sand in the heart of Imperial Beach. Recently appraised at $680,000; now offered at $630,000, this is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key home priced well below current market value. The kitchen is the showpiece. A $65K designer remodel with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, floating shelves, wine fridge, espresso bar, and all high end finishes. New luxury vinyl plank flooring thru-out the unit, complemented by fresh paint, updated fixtures, and a thoughtfully designed OPEN layout that lives larger than the square footage suggests. Take the recently refurbished elevator to the shared rooftop deck and savor the unobstructed ocean views, year round coastal breezes, and the kind of sunsets that remind you why you moved to the beach in the first place. Watch the surf at sunrise, grill with neighbors at sunset, and enjoy a true coastal lifestyle just steps from your front door. Summer Sea is a 24 unit community that completed its SB326 balcony life safety inspection with no active safety concerns and recently invested in significant building improvements including south side siding and plumbing infrastructure. The community is VA approved. Imperial Beach is San Diego's last authentic beach town. Quieter than Pacific Beach, more affordable than Coronado, with the same Pacific Ocean out your front door. You'll be walking distance to the pier, restaurants, shopping, and the new Bikeway Village. Naval Base Coronado, NAB Coronado, and Naval Base San Diego are all an easy commute. Full HOA financial disclosures and appraisal documentation are available to qualified buyers and their agents upon request. Sellers motivated, all reasonable offers considered.
