About this property

Historic city center craftsman: remodeled bathroom, patio, garden, full kitchen

  • Experience boutique comfort in a beautifully restored 1915 Craftsman, centrally located near downtown, Petco Park, Balboa Park, Gaslamp, Coronado, and San Diego’s hip neighborhoods including North Park and Hillcrest. Enjoy a full updated kitchen with loads of amenities, modern bath with a deep tub, original built-ins, and warm, artful décor. Relax on the welcoming front patio or unwind under the pergola, surrounded by a lush green garden. With two inviting bedrooms, this home is perfect for couples, friends, or small families.

    Welcome to this charming 1915 Craftsman, a home filled with history, creativity, and a deep sense of care. This was our mother’s house, and much of the artwork, décor, and color throughout the space reflects her original vision. We’ve preserved what made it special while updating the essentials for comfort and ease.

    We welcome guests from all over the world, and we’ve shaped the home to feel warm, personal, and inviting—whether you're here for work, exploration, or rest.

    The Bathroom

    A spacious, newly remodeled bath with a deep soaking tub, rainfall-style shower, and a tucked-away toilet nook. Plenty of counter space and a large mirror make getting ready effortless.

    The Kitchen

    A fully equipped, modern kitchen featuring:
    • Extensive dishware & eclectic glassware
    • Coffee maker, French press, kettle, blender
    • Ample cookware, sharp knives, spices, oils, and essentials
    Everything you need to cook a real meal—or several.

    Bedrooms

    Two cozy bedrooms with comfortable beds (one queen, one full), plus closets and dressers for settling in. An optional futon in the living room can sleep one additional guest.

    Living and Dining

    A light-filled living room with ample sofa seating, handcrafted décor, and original built-ins. The dining area comfortably seats 4–5 for shared meals or remote work.

    Outdoor Spaces

    A street-facing patio perfect for morning coffee with comfortable furniture, plus a shaded pergola seating area at the front of the property for relaxing in the evenings. The garden features mature fruit trees, flowers, and a variety of lush greenery.

    The Neighborhood

    Located in one of San Diego’s most vibrant historic urban neighborhoods—where I’ve lived since 2008—it offers unbeatable access to the city’s best areas: Downtown, Gaslamp, Balboa Park, North Park, South Park, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, Barrio Logan, Coronado, Petco Park, and the Convention Center. You're also just 20 minutes from the border.

    This home is a comfortable, soulful base for exploring San Diego like a local.

    Why You’ll Love It Here

    • The perfect mix of old-world charm & modern comfort—original Craftsman details paired with intentional upgrades.

    • A kitchen that feels like home, fully stocked for real cooking, slow mornings, or easy evenings in.

    • Art, color, and handcrafted touches throughout the space—inviting, warm, and thoughtfully curated.

    • Two restful bedrooms plus flexible extra sleeping space for families or small groups.

    • Great outdoor spots for sipping, lounging, people-watching, or catching the breeze.
