Step inside an architectural gem at *Hillside Hideaway II*. This upper-level 2 bedroom, 2 bath duplex was designed by the renowned modernist architect Homer Delawie, a master of elegant simplicity and post-WWII design. Known for his signature use of vast glass to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, Delawie's work is celebrated throughout San Diego, with many of his designs now historical landmarks. This home is a noteworthy and unique example of his iconic style.
Step inside this home and discover a unique blend of mid-century retro-chic, where classic design meets a lively, modern sensibility with clean lines, warm woods, and pops of vibrant color that transport you to a cooler, more carefree era.
Prepare to be amazed by the panoramic views of downtown, the harbor, and the ocean from this beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. As the upstairs unit of a two-unit duplex, it offers abundant natural light and a completely private 500 sq. ft. terrace that's the true highlight of the property.
Inside Your Private Retreat:
The open-concept design flows seamlessly from the elegant dining area to a stylish, newly remodeled kitchen, a true chef's delight. The living room features French doors that open directly to the terrace, and is equipped with a 50" Smart Fire TV for relaxing nights in.
The unit features two comfortable bedrooms: the "Blue Room" with a king bed and ensuite bath (with a tub) and the "Green Room" with a queen bed and an ensuite shower. A dedicated workspace is also provided for your convenience.
Your Private Outdoor Oasis:
Step outside to a fully-furnished terrace perfect for every occasion. Enjoy a meal at the dining table for six, gather around the gas fire pit on the outdoor sofa, or grill up your favorites on the provided BBQ. The barstools offer a perfect spot to take in the spectacular city views.
Convenience & Location:
For your convenience, we provide beach towels, a cooler, and beach chairs. We are a short drive from San Diego's most famous beaches: Ocean Beach (9 min), Mission Beach (10 min), and La Jolla (16 min). A shared laundry room is available in the carport.
This property consists of two distinct units that can be rented separately or together for larger groups ~ perfect for two families! Hillside Hideaway II, the upstairs unit, is a spacious 2 bed/2 bath with a large private terrace and panoramic views.
