Family-friendly 3bd / 2bh with outdoor and dining in SD's best location

Welcome to this beautiful 3bd/2bth 1400 sqft home in San Diego's historic Little Italy/Banker’s Hill neighborhood. Eloquently decorated mid-century modern spacious unit includes plenty of space for family and friends and bonus outdoor living area with a fire pit, bocce court, synthetic turf and paver stone areas. A property this large and these amenities are rarely found in such a great location. Walking distance or short Uber to San Diego's top attractions (see below). Don't hesitate, book now!

Location, location, location! The home is the perfect location for anyone visiting San Diego for the first time or 20th time because of its fantastic walkability and closeness to San Diego's top attractions and activities.

The space:
This Spanish style villa was originally constructed in 1928 and has undergone a full restoration which provides modern comfort while maintaining the original style and charm. A chef's kitchen includes all the fixings and the dining room with table for 6 is perfect for hosting. Unit includes: AC/heat, walk in laundry room with washer/dryer, high-end stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, high end custom cabinets with slow closing drawers & hinges, under-counter LED lighting, beautifully restored original hardwood floors, recessed LED lighting and ceiling fans, solid core doors, custom bathrooms with high end tub and shower.

We've also stocked the unit with cards, board games and a Nintendo 64 to keep the whole family entertained.

Neighborhood description:
