Room details
1 bedroom in a beautiful furnished shared townhouse.
Welcome to this gorgeous, recently refurbished, and furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath shared townhouse in a beautiful, safe, and quiet neighborhood in University City. The landlord occupies one of the bedrooms and the other bedroom is up for renting.
This house is only a 5-10min drive or 15-20min bike ride away from UC San Diego main campus, the Westfield UTC Mall, its trolley station, 24 Hour Fitness, Vons, Ralphs, Whole Foods, and many great restaurants and cafes. This HOA-managed neighborhood has many beautiful manicured gardens, lush green lawns, and walkways with relaxing canyon views. It is a stroll away from the delightful Marian Bear Memorial Park.
Key features of the property include a spacious, open layout with plenty of natural light, a sun-lit porch for relaxing afternoons, and a tiled floor living room with recessed lighting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Both bedrooms upstairs have hardwood floors. The shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom upstairs with tiled floors is also recently refurbished. The kitchen is fully equipped with all relevant appliances. The house has a Bosch washer and dryer and stylish IKEA furniture, including a comfortable couch, shelves, cupboards, beds, and wardrobes. The living room has a large smart TV.
The rent includes almost all utilities and shared household supplies, including for cleaning. SDGE bills must be split with the landlord. The rent also includes access to fabulous shared amenities like the swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and clubhouse. Street parking is free. There is also a dedicated carport that you can use.
The landlord has an adorable 90lbs long-haired German Shepherd dog with a kennel and bed downstairs. The dog is very friendly with people after introductions and is quiet almost all the time. Please ensure you are not allergic to dog fur and you are comfortable living with a big dog. No smoking, vaping, or new pets please.
