Looking for a charming new home in Bankers Hill surrounded by butterflies, gardens, plumerias and fruit trees? This location could be perfect for a single or couple looking for an amazing living space that features expansive views into Maple Canyon and the Quince Street Pedestrian Bridge. The 102-year old landmark is home to five apartments and is located on the western slope of Maple Canyon (at Redwood) in a quiet neighborhood filled with historic homes. Balboa Park is three blocks away; with Downtown, Little Italy or Hillcrest each about a mile. Rarely available, this beautiful one-bedroom apartment with a south facing sunroom (ideal for an office) has a view of the county's oldest bridge, the historic Quince Street Pedestrian Bridge across Maple Canyon. This remodeled apartment is still loaded with 1921 Craftsman charm and a few modern amenities like a mini split air conditioner, forced-air heat, gas stove and garbage disposal. An east facing balcony (with a view of the bridge) perches you above Maple Canyon where you can sip a morning cup of coffee while enjoying soaring hawks and singing birds. An avocado tree hangs over the staircase leading to a redwood deck, a porch swing north bedroom windows and your front door. Have a green thumb? You too can have a vegetable garden! The apartment house has an organic garden where tenants are welcome to grow your own strawberries, tomatoes, kale and more. The property is a certified wildlife habitat with lots of birds, butterflies and an occasional critter. Public transportation is located just across the pedestrian bridge. Like them or not, bike lanes abound. The walkable neighborhood offers restaurants, bars, breweries and coffee shops...not to mention Balboa Park, and all it has to offer. This is the best of San Diego urban living blended with comfortable country charm. You won't find another apartment that matches its character and uniqueness. "The Meadows" is situated in a park-like setting with private off-street parking, a laundry room with free machines, a small waterfall, picnic area, fountains and pathways. The tranquil property offers quiet professionals the opportunity to enjoy avocados, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, herbs and an occasional apple. Convenient to all. No dogs. Cat okay. One-year lease. $1,500 deposit; $50 application fee if not through Zillow. Drive by 3065 Third Avenue (at Redwood) or view from the Quince Street pedestrian bridge. Please do not disturb the residents. Submit your application to be considered. Call between 9am and 10pm (Pacific Time) or text at your convenience if you think this might be a good fit for you. We'd be happy to set up an appointment for you to view it. Owner pays for water and trash. Tenant pays for gas/electric and cable. Free laundry on site...within steps of this apartment. Free off-street, designated parking. Our small five-unit apartment house is a community. We share taking the containers up to the street for trash day, pull a weed and be a good neighbor.
