Exceptional South Park Triplex with Income Upside and Development Potential. Rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained three-unit income property in one of San Diego's most desirable urban neighborhoods. Located in the heart of South Park, just blocks from Balboa Park, this unique property offers a compelling combination of current cash flow, future rental upside, development potential, and the charm that makes South Park one of San Diego's most sought-after communities. The property consists of three well-maintained 1-bedroom residential units in a tranquil garden-like setting. Mature landscaping, abundant greenery, and private outdoor living spaces create an environment that feels more like a collection of individual homes than a traditional income property. Each residence enjoys its own private patio area, providing tenants with valuable outdoor space and enhanced privacy.The units have been meticulously maintained, each with in-unit washer/dryers, dishwashers, tankless hot water heaters, and separately metered utilities paid directly by the tenants (owner currently pays water service only). The property currently generates approximately $103,000 in annual gross rental income, with estimated market rents supporting potential gross income of approximately $112,000 annually, offering investors potential upside opportunities. Notably adding to the property's appeal is a 400 sf detached two-car garage with ADU potential (currently not included for tenants’ use) with City-approved architectural plans for future use as an office/workspace. South Park continues to be one of San Diego's most vibrant and enduring neighborhoods, known for its walkability, historic character, independent restaurants, neighborhood cafes, local boutiques, and proximity to Balboa Park, downtown San Diego, and major employment centers. Properties offering this combination of location, condition, income stability, and future upside are increasingly rare. Whether seeking a long-term investment, a value-add opportunity, or a property with potential for future owner-user flexibility, this exceptional South Park triplex offers a unique opportunity in one of San Diego's premier rental markets.
