215 Spruce Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained four-unit apartment property in the highly desirable Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. The property features an attractive unit mix of three 1-bedroom/1-bath residences of approximately 480 square feet and one studio of approximately 400 square feet. The building retains much of its original character, including hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, original cabinetry and woodwork, while select areas feature updated vinyl plank flooring and a mix of newer appliances. Unit A is further distinguished by a fireplace and newly installed floor heater, while the remaining residences are equipped with wall heaters. Each unit benefits from its own individual water heater, and residents have access to a rear courtyard, common-area deck and tenant storage. A single-car garage, currently utilized for owner storage, provides additional utility and potential future flexibility. The property has been self-managed by the same ownership for approximately 29 years and reflects a history of attentive ownership and long-term tenant retention, with residents having occupied the property for as long as 20 years. Importantly, three of the four units have not received rent increases in years, creating a compelling opportunity for a new investor to capture meaningful rental upside over time while implementing a targeted capital improvement program. Original kitchens, cabinetry, appliances and interior finishes provide a clear pathway for strategic modernization and enhanced rental positioning.

Download the attached 15 page OM for additional information about this property! This attractive fourplex consisting of ample-sized two-bedroom units. The attractive property benefits from well executed building updates while still retaining desirable Mid-Century elements. The location at the southwest corner of Eagle Street and West Pennsylvania Avenue is tucked within an enclave primarily consisting of single-family homes. This quiet location is well north of the Lindbergh Field flight past and just south of the Mission Hills neighborhood retail district. The long-time owners have installed an updated main electrical panel, mini-split air conditioning units, dual-pane windows and recently completed full exterior painting. The classic kitchens include original Mid-Century two-tone tile counters. Other Mid-Century features include hardwood floors. This is a rare opportunity for an investor to acquire a building in a high caliber Mission Hills location. See Supplement regarding investment upside INVESTMENT UPSIDE: The long-time owner has operated the property with a primary emphasis on minimizing resident turnover. This presents an opportunity for a new owner to enhance rental revenues over time with or without additional capital improvements. The rental upside is approximately 22%. This includes renting the two-car garage that has been used by the owners for storage. Because the current owners have completed capital replacement work over time, a buyer need not feel pressure to undertake major property renovations. These will be optional based on the buyer’s requirements and investment plans. A buyer who is so inclined can upgrade unit interiors as units turn-over. Updating the kitchens and baths will significantly re-position the units up-market. This can be accomplished in an appropriate period style to avoid detracting from the Mid-Century ambiance. Installing in-unit laundry equipment might prove to be an economically viable option. While the ample-size floor plans are very livable as-is, a more adventurous investor might elect to enhance the perceived size of the units by partially opening the partition wall between the kitchens and living area.
