About This Home
As of June 2026Rarely available two-story loft in Cable Lofts, one of San Diego’s most iconic industrial communities designed by Jonathan Segal. Originally converted in 1997 from a Pacific Bell switching station, this 2 bed, 2 bath corner residence blends authentic character with modern livability. Featuring soaring 18-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, exposed red brick, and striking concrete beams, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light from expansive dual-pane windows on two sides, offering bright north and west exposure with refreshing cross ventilation. Currently configured as a one-bedroom, it can easily be converted back to a two-bedroom with a bedroom and full bath on each level. A Juliette balcony and private outdoor space enhance indoor-outdoor flow, while the home also includes two assigned parking spaces (one garage, one exterior), EV charger capability, and a large private secured storage cabinet. Enjoy low HOA fees and access to a beautifully maintained private park with mature trees, grassy areas, and unique art installations. With a Walk Score of 96, you’re just steps from top-rated restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and public transportation—offering the ultimate urban lifestyle in the heart of Hillcrest.
