About This Home

As of November 2024

Reduced $100,000, the best priced loft in the city! Experience the San Diego urban lifestyle in this industrial modern-style loft w/ 2 full baths and 2 parking spaces. Once home to San Diego’s mid-century FBI Headquarters, this extraordinary building offers a distinctive charm and historical significance that sets it apart from other properties. Impressive architecture w/ exposed 13ft waffle slab ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and direct street access. This open-concept space features a spacious island ideal for entertaining, a bright and open living room and even room for an office. Enjoy central AC, in-unit laundry, ample storage, and the luxury of two parking spaces so close to the park. As the previous model unit, it’s one of the rare lofts in the city with two bathrooms. The direct street access gives it the feel of a detached home without having to enter the complex (great for dog walkers!). Additionally, the loft boasts the potential to be converted into a two-bedroom unit, making it a versatile space that can easily accommodate your future lifestyle changes. Just steps away from the iconic Balboa Park, you'll have access to miles of walking, hiking, and biking trails, world-class museums, dog parks, indoor basketball courts, and the renowned San Diego Zoo. Enjoy the convenience of walking to the historic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge and a variety of vibrant restaurants and cafes. Plus, San Diego International Airport is just a short drive away. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of San Diego history in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
