About this home
Welcome to a truly special residence in the iconic El Cortez, where historic San Diego character meets beautifully updated modern living. This light-filled 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner residence offers 1,032 square feet with 9-foot ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, crown molding, deep baseboards and classic wood sash windows that preserve the architectural charm of this landmark building. The renovated open-concept kitchen features marble countertops, black stainless-steel appliances and designer lighting, while both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with elevated finishes. Large windows fill the home with natural light and frame sweeping city views along with a peek of the bay. The spacious primary suite includes custom closet organization and a beautifully appointed bath with a hydrotherapy soaking tub. Set above the energy of Downtown in desirable Cortez Hill, El Cortez offers an extraordinary sense of history while placing Balboa Park, Little Italy, dining, entertainment and the waterfront within easy reach. The El Cortez is a designated historic landmark, and this residence may offer the opportunity to pursue Mills Act property-tax savings, subject to buyer application, qualification and approval. A rare combination of architectural character, views, modern updates and an unmistakably San Diego address.
