About the Property

 This pair of hip-roofed Mid-Century Traditional homes and the mature tropical gardens that surround them, now await their next custodian. They've been lovingly restored,  and thoughtfully modernized, with pleasing open floor plans that flow beautifully to decks and flagstone patios, each giving a nod to San Diego’s famously mild coastal climate. The compound sits on a rare lot without an adjacent property on either side. The presence from the curb is seductive, with gated privacy walls, a central drive punctuated with a pleasing fountain, and mature stands of exotic Kentia palms, sure to remind you with each return home, that you have arrived
 
The property is situated within the most desirable swath of North Park, within blocks of Balboa Park Golf Course, and Morley Field Sports Complex, and within walking distance to the retail and dining destinations that have put North Park on the map. Forbes Magazine recently named it as one of the most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods in the nation. Downtown is minutes away, without a freeway.
 
The following overview of improvements showcases the considerable investment made, and the wonderful opportunity that this offering presents. A comprehensive suite of disclosures including recent pest, general building, and lateral sewer reports  will be made available to interested parties. Short term rental performance figures for each home are also available.
