The property feels clean, private, and ready for everyday living or entertaining. The location is exceptional. You are minutes from the beaches of La Jolla, SeaWorld, Downtown San Diego, the Gaslamp District, Little Italy, the airport, restaurants, grocery stores, parks, and hospitals. It is a rare blend of modern design, quality upgrades, and true central San Diego convenience. This is a move in ready home that offers comfort, efficiency, and style that is hard to find in this neighborhood.
