Live in the heart of historic downtown Chula Vista in this beautifully and completely remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bath home on iconic Third Avenue. Created by combining two units into one, this is a spacious, one-of-a-kind residence that pairs classic downtown character with a brand-new, from-the-studs modern makeover.
Everything is new. Enjoy rich hardwood flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry, your own in-unit washer and dryer, new windows that bring in great natural light (and help keep it quiet), and modern LED lighting throughout. It's completely move-in ready and truly turnkey.
Step out your front door and you're immersed in Third Avenue Village one of San Diego County's most vibrant, walkable downtowns. You'll be surrounded by a dizzying array of restaurants, craft breweries, coffee shops, and local boutiques, with the popular Sunday Farmers' Market, Memorial Park, and the public library just steps away. It's the kind of neighborhood where your car can stay parked while you walk to dinner, brunch, or your morning coffee.
And when you do need to venture out, quick access to the I-5 and I-805 freeways puts all of San Diego downtown, the bayfront, and beyond within easy reach.
