About this home

Set behind the gates of an intimate Hillcrest community, this light-filled residence delivers the rare combination of architectural character, privacy, and unbeatable urban convenience. Soaring vaulted ceilings create an immediate sense of volume and drama, while updated vinyl windows flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day. The living space centers around a beautiful fireplace and leads to a private patio designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, a separate balcony retreat offers the perfect place to unwind after a busy day. Freshly updated with new flooring in most spaces and interior paint, the home also features central HVAC, in-unit washer and dryer, a private garage, and the highly sought-after benefit of no neighbors above. Located just moments from Balboa Park and within walking distance to some of San Diego's best restaurants, cafs, nightlife, and shopping, this is elevated Hillcrest living with easy freeway access and exceptional convenience. A rare opportunity to own a stylish, move-in ready residence in one of San Diego's most vibrant neighborhoods.
