Right in the heart of Little Italy – one of San Diego’s most vibrant neighbourhoods – this apartment is just a three-minute wander from the Little Italy Mercato Farmers' Market. But it doesn’t quite look like a traditional Italian home. This standout villa was built in the 1930s, an excellent example of art-deco-inspired architecture. Pale, mint-green garage doors, roofs, and columns sit at jaunty angles on the cream painted exterior. It truly looks like something right out of the history books. You’ll also have a private patio outside, with a barbecue, bright-pink flowers, and fairy lights to create a Mediterranean atmosphere. Inside, the decor offers a nod to the city’s waterside location – a beach hut vibe. We love these traditional themes, making the home feel truly warm and welcoming with its rustic, family-friendly feel. In the lounge, thanks to rich wooden floors, shell-like embossed cabinets, and woven dining chairs, the space feels reminiscent of driftwood and the seaside. In any case, you are just a seventeen-minute walk from the Maritime Museum of San Diego, right on the waters of the bay.
