About This Home
As of January 2026Urban living meets modern style in this sleek 1BR/1.5BA loft-style condo in the converted former FBI Headquarters Building in Bankers Hill. The open floor plan and spacious living area create the perfect backdrop for entertaining, relaxing, or to demonstrate your impeccable taste. Two private patios offer room to unwind or host a casual get-together—because one outdoor space is never enough. There’s even potential to convert part of the open loft into a second sleeping area or flex space, giving you options as your needs evolve. Secured parking with 2 parking spots (not tandem-yay!) Enjoy easy access to Balboa Park, local cafes, and restaurants right outside your door. When you’re not exploring the neighborhood, take advantage of the community BBQ and lounge area downstairs—ideal for sunny afternoons or those “let’s just grill instead of cook” kind of nights. Chic, convenient, and effortlessly cool—this home makes city living look easy.
