Discover this exquisite property nestled in the heart of University Heights, where sophistication meets convenience. This unique offering boasts not one, but two charming homes on a single lot. Just a stone's throw away from the picturesque Trolley Park and a mere two blocks from a vibrant array of restaurants, bars, and cafes, this location is unparalleled. The front house, a tastefully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom sanctuary, showcases modern elegance with its gleaming hardwood floors and double-pane windows. The kitchen, adorned with granite countertops and top-tier stainless steel appliances, includes a cozy breakfast area. Central A/C ensures year-round comfort, making it a previous favorite for discerning AIRBNB guests. Adjacent to the main residence, a spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) beckons with approximately 450 square feet of living space. It offers its own parking, in-unit washer and dryer, and a private courtyard adorned with a tranquil water fountain, perfect for those seeking serenity. The beautifully landscaped grounds require minimal maintenance, thanks to a new sprinkler system and the ambiance-enhancing glow of Malibu lighting. Whether you envision the ADU as a "Mother-in-Law Residence," a welcoming "Guest House," or an income-generating "Rental," the possibilities are as limitless as the charm of this exceptional property. Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to experience elegant urban living in one of San Diego's most sought-after neighborhoods.
