About This Home
Recent price improvement. Excellent opportunity—timely decisions are recommended.
Step into a home filled with natural light, calm energy, and open city views that include the Coronado Bridge, skyline, and historic El Cortez — visible from the living area, bedrooms, and private balcony. Perfectly positioned on the sunny side of Discovery at Cortez Hill, this residence offers a rare balance of downtown excitement and peaceful comfort. Enjoy walking distance to the Gaslamp District, Petco Park, and Little Italy, while being just an 8-minute drive to San Diego Airport, with easy access to the 163 and 5 freeways and plenty of nearby street parking for guests. Move-in ready for its next owner, this bright 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features an open kitchen with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a wine chiller that flows into a welcoming living area with luxury vinyl plank floors and a cozy fireplace. Two non-tandem parking spaces and a private storage unit add the convenience and value every downtown buyer hopes to find. Discovery is celebrated for its quiet luxury, 24-hour concierge, elegant lobby, business center, rooftop lap pool and spa, fitness center with sauna and steam room, and a tranquil second-floor garden — offering resort-style living just steps above the heart of downtown. Important Note: Public records show approximately 1,133 sq. ft., while prior MLS listings measured about 1,220 sq. ft. Buyers and their agents are encouraged to verify all measurements, square footage, and details to their own satisfaction. Ownership has been updated through the estate process, and title is clear and ready for a smooth closing.
