About This Home

This chic and modern residence in the heart of Cortez Hill has been recently renovated. Just steps from a beloved neighborhood dog park, the home offers a rare blend of urban living and green space access at the highly desirable Aloft on Cortez Hill. The unit was completely gutted and thoughtfully upgraded with all-new paint, drywall, and luxury finishes. Durable vinyl plank flooring spans the main living space, while plush Berber carpet adds comfort to the loft area. The kitchen and bath feature upgraded cabinetry, far superior to the original builder-grade options. Appliance upgrades include a Samsung Wi-Fi-enabled oven with built-in air fryer and a high-efficiency LG ThinQ washer/dryer—all in like-new condition, with the oven never having been used. Previously in need of major updates, this home has been transformed into a move-in-ready retreat with modern conveniences and style. Lightly lived in and meticulously maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in one of Downtown San Diego’s most charming neighborhoods. Meticulously maintained building at Aloft with on site front desk security from 10:30am to 10pm. Property is virtually staged
