About This Home
As of March 2021One of the most desirable floor plans. Split Masters, one huge and one merely large. Check out 9' ceilings, large windows, wood floors, remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances, white cabs and counters for a clean modern style. Gorgeous views of Balboa Park and City lights from every room. EC506 faces away from Ash St. for quieter urban living. Spic n span, ready to move in and enjoy from day one. Mills Act in place for reduced property taxes. Feels like a home without the yard work. At one time, just like today..... the El Cortez Hotel was the place to be if you were rich, famous and cool. Various guests who have visited the building when it was still operated as a hotel include: Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Gerald Ford, and singers Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and Roy Rogers. In addition, The El Cortez hotel was featured in the 1963 film A Ticklish Affair. Almost every long time San Diegan has a memory of a prom, special date, or event held in the Don Room, Sky Bar or Starlight Room. On July 25, 1990, the City of San Diego's Historic Site Board declared the building to be "historic", which prevented it from being demolished. The El Cortez Hotel was eventually added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 17, 2002 for its impact on architecture and engineering. Now you can make a piece of history your home.
