Welcome to 540 Hawthorn St, Unit 1A — a beautifully updated corner residence in the heart of Bankers Hill. This first-floor corner unit lives large, with oversized bay windows on two sides that flood the space with natural light all day long. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with granite countertops, updated cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom has been given the same thoughtful, modern touch. Triple-pane glass windows keep things quiet and efficient, and an in-unit stackable washer/dryer means everyday convenience is built right in. Outside is your oversized private patio, one of the best outdoor spaces in the building, with room to lounge, dine and take in the views. Parking is a breeze too, with two side-by-side garage spaces equipped with 2 EV charging ports, one for each spot. Location is everything here. You're just steps from Balboa Park's trails, gardens and museums, and a short stroll to some of the city's best restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques along Fifth and Sixth Avenue. Bankers Hill sits right between downtown and Hillcrest, so you get a walkable, tree-lined neighborhood feel while staying minutes from everything San Diego has to offer, from the airport to the bay to the beaches. This is corner-unit living at its best. Come see it for
