Surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, breweries and boutiques, the cottage is the ideal landing spot for families, couples or friends looking to experience the true culture of San Diego.
This cottage was originally built in 1925, which means it's 100 years old and overflowing with character. Most of the rooms have been remodeled, but we kept the original wood floors in the living room and front bedroom.
The kitchen was completely renovated in 2022 with all new appliances, quartz countertops, new cabinets, a farmhouse sink and retro floors. The front bedroom has a Queen bed and large 55" tv, while the back bedroom has a trundle bed with a Full on top and Twin on bottom. Both bedrooms have their own private bathrooms; the front bathroom has a tub/shower and the back bathroom has a shower.
The biggest draw of this cottage (besides its central location) is the incredible outdoor space. This is a completely private home with a private entry and no shared space with neighbors. The house is surrounded by a 6 foot privacy fence, so feel free to keep the doors and windows open while enjoying the quiet breeze. The backyard has a wraparound deck, accessible from the kitchen and side walkway. A few steps past the deck you'll find a turf lawn, shaded by a fig tree and a cozy hammock. The backyard truly feels like a private oasis.
