Location & Lifestyle:
Situated in the historic, highly walkable Sherman Heights neighborhood, you are less than a mile from Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the East Village. Enjoy immediate access to the I-5 and Route 94 for a seamless commute anywhere in San Diego, while living just far enough from the downtown core to enjoy peace and privacy.
Outdoor Living & Amenities:
The home features a spacious, private backyard (25' x 27') that offers a wonderful touch of California living. The yard features three mature, fruit-bearing trees, including a vibrant lemon tree and two avocado trees yielding roughly 200 to 300 avocados per year during harvest season. We are looking for tenants who will appreciate and take pride in caring for this beautiful outdoor space just as much as the interior.
Additionally, a separate, exterior laundry room (7' x 5') provides a dedicated space with hook-ups for your washer and dryer.
