Description

There are homes you buy for square footage, and there are homes you buy because there is simply nothing else quite like them. This charming blue cottage in historic Sherman Heights offers character, independence, and the rare opportunity to own a detached home just one mile from Downtown San Diego. With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, this home is for the buyer who values simplicity, location, and personality—and prefers the privacy and individuality of a historic cottage over another unit in a high-rise. Historic character meets everyday comfort with air conditioning, an in-home washer and dryer, and a HALO whole-home water filtration system. The property also benefits from an existing Mills Act agreement, which has provided historically lower property taxes while supporting the preservation of the home's architectural character. And for buyers comparing this home to a condo: there are no HOA dues. The location puts some of San Diego's best-known destinations remarkably close to home. Downtown is approximately one mile away. Balboa Park is 1.8 miles away. Seaport Village and the Coronado Ferry are approximately 1.5 miles away. San Diego International Airport is approximately four miles away, and Liberty Station is approximately six. A trolley station is roughly 0.7 miles away, bus stops are within a couple of blocks, and neighborhood restaurants and taco shops are within walking distance. Even closer, the neighborhood community center is just a five-minute walk away. Morning in Balboa Park. Dinner Downtown. An afternoon across the bay in Coronado. A quick trip to the airport when it's time to get away. So much of San Diego is within easy reach. This cottage presents a compelling alternative to condo living: no shared walls, no HOA dues, historic character, and a front door entirely your own. One bedroom. One bath. One very cool little piece of San Diego history.
