Unique and Modern Architectural 2BR/2BA condo with more than 1351sqft of exceptional living space in the sought after Aperture building nestled in the sophisticated and thriving 48 block urban community of Little Italy.
A 20' long inviting foyer will welcome you to this one-of-a-kind open floor plan. 11' high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows allowing tons of natural light, a gourmet kitchen with an oversized granite counter island, and top-of-the-line Thermador and Bosch appliances perfect for cooking and entertaining. The living area showcases gorgeous white tile flooring that enhances the home's modern aesthetic, while a 35' balcony offers stunning city/bay views, perfect for relaxing. Completing this exceptional offering are two dedicated parking spaces in a secure garage and a dedicated storage unit.
Aperture is an urban 11-story mid-rise constructed of concrete, steel and glass with 86 condominiums and 3 retail spaces on the ground floor including Love & Aesthetics unique home goods boutique, Bella Paris Nail & Spa, and The Kabob Shop restaurant. A new 50,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market nearly twice the size of the Hillcrest location is scheduled to open just two blocks away mid-year, adding significant convenience and value to the neighborhood. Aperture has an upscale, quiet, relaxed vibe, is exceptionally well maintained, and is centrally located near the 5, 94 and 163 freeways so you can easily access all that greater San Diego has to offer. Or, forget the car and take an easy stroll 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. If you want to venture further afield, take a short walk or bike ride to Balboa Park, Seaport Village, The Gaslamp Quarter or East Village.
This is a rare opportunity to rent an urban home that blends luxury with lifestyle in one of San Diego's most desirable neighborhoods.
