    Serious, qualified inquiries only. Welcome to 125 W. Hawthorn Street. If you're looking for a typical apartment, this probably isn't it. It's a home looking for that person who will appreciate what makes this property special and wants a unique San Diego lifestyle that's difficult to find elsewhere. Please Note: Washer/Dryer: unit coming soon. Because of the size of the house, the washer/dryer will be inside an enclosure outside of the house (there is a door off the kitchen with stairs down to a small outdoor space). Off Street Parking: 1 Space available for addt'l $100/month. Flight Path: This home is located under the arrival flight path for San Diego International Airport, so aircraft can be heard overhead, particularly when you're outside. The good news is that the home has been updated with dual-pane windows and a solid wood front entry door, which do an excellent job of reducing outside noise, making the interior surprisingly quiet. As with any home, we encourage prospective tenants to visit the property in person to make sure it's a good fit for their preferences. This unfurnished one-of-a-kind architectural home offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort in one of San Diego's most desirable neighborhoods. Previously a highly rated Airbnb, it is now available as a long-term residence for someone who appreciates thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and an unbeatable walkable location. This home is light-filled, inviting, and showcases beautiful custom tile work, original leaded glass windows, and modern finishes while preserving its timeless cottage charm. It features two spacious bedrooms, each located on opposite sides of the main living area for added privacy. The north bedroom includes recessed lighting and a cozy reading nook framed by original leaded glass windows, along with a built-in closet and display shelving that create a boutique, custom feel. The south bedroom also features recessed lighting, plenty of natural light and offers flexibility as a home office, guest room, or creative workspace to suit your lifestyle. The well-designed galley kitchen is equipped with a large single-basin stainless steel undermount sink, a six-burner gas range, generous counter space for cooking, and ample storage. Just beyond the kitchen, the beautifully remodeled bathroom features custom tile work, a spacious walk-in shower, and a classic pedestal sink. Located just minutes from San Diego International Airport and the freeways, the home offers exceptional convenience for frequent travelers while remaining tucked into one of the city's most charming neighborhoods. Or take an easy stroll to Balboa Park where you'll enjoy museums, gardens, miles of walking trails, and year-round cultural events, or venture further to the village of Little Italy which has become known as a food mecca; walk to the many authentic Italian restaurants, some of the hippest eateries in town or just grab a coffee or gelato and unwind in one of the many piazzas and people watch just like they do in Italy. Every Saturday, you can walk a block to the Little Italy Mercato farmers market for the opportunity from over 200 hundred vendors to buy fresh produce, vegetables, herbs, flowers, coffee and novelty items. Owner pays for water/sewer and trash. Tenant responsible for gas/electricity and internet/cable. This is a smoke-free property.
