Remarks

Rare & unique rental opportunity with charm, updates, and serious outdoor appeal. This thoughtfully updated home blends vintage character with a fresh California-modern feel. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint throughout and a cleaned-up, manicured yard, giving the property a polished, move-in-ready feel. Inside, you'll find natural hardwood flooring, great natural light, updated finishes, and a layout that feels comfortable without feeling cookie-cutter. The kitchen offers updated cabinetry, sleek countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a clean tile backsplash. The remodeled bathroom is bright, modern, and timeless. The standout feature is the outdoor space: a lush, terraced backyard with tropical landscaping and multiple areas to relax or unwind. Yard is shared with two other tenants. Pets allowed with restrictions on number and size. Garage access is an additional $100/month if needed. Laundry is shared in the garage. Located in a charming neighborhood with homes from the 1920s 1940s, the area has real character and long-time neighbor pride not manufactured "community vibes," thankfully. Just a 4-minute walk to a local coffee shop and cozy wine bar, with easy access to public transportation, Lyft/Uber, and major San Diego destinations.
