About This Home
As of September 2021FABULOUS TOP FLOOR CORNER VIEW UNIT. Was a 2BR/2BA, tastefully transformed into a spacious 1BR + Den/Media Room/Office with 1.5 baths. No other like it! There is even a wood-burning FP! Just had all the windows replaced with sparkling dual paned windows and sliders to soak in the beautiful cityscape. Views all the way to the Bay. Fantastic solid hardwood floors (mahogany?) throughout, and gorgeous granite on kitchen and bath counters. Brand new stainless refrig, huge, sexy shower in the MBR. See supp. The owners remodelled this beautiful unit approximately 15 years ago. They did a terrific job, with curved walls, angles, and top quality fixtures and materials. They were well ahead of their time, and the unit is still current and quite stylish. It could relatively easily be converted back to a 2BR with the construction of one wall and a closet. Symphony Terrace is a well-run complex featuring a gym, sauna, steam room, pool, spa and $30 a night guest suite for those out-of-town guests! It is located across the street from Symphony Towers and Symphony Hall, close to Balboa Park, Horton Plaza, and Petco Park, with easy access to freeways. The unit is staged, and a delight to show!!
