Nestled in the heart of San Diego's Old Town, just steps from its array of shops and authentic Mexican eateries, this historic home is perfect for families. You'll instantly fall in love with its quaint facade, exuding Mediterranean charm with its terracotta clay tiling, white stucco-clad walls and majestic arched entryway. The interior is exquisitely renovated and bursting with character, boasting high ceilings, hardwood floors and large windows ushering in floods of sunlight. Soft arches create a free-flowing space primed for relaxation, and we love the kitchen, cloaked in a striking shade of electric blue and fully equipped with home chefs in mind. After a restful slumber, enjoy your morning coffee in the cosy breakfast nook before a day of adventure. By all means, the highlight of this home is the outdoor space. After a restful slumber, step outside onto the Saltillo-tiled courtyard and enjoy your morning coffee in the sun. Vibrantly decorated and brimming with amenities, this is the perfect place to entertain. Enjoy a dip in the hot tub, relax beneath the shaded pergola and come sunset, fire up the grill for an alfresco feast. Spend evenings perched at the bar, sipping homemade cocktails beside the crackling glow of the... chiminea-style fireplace.
