Property Description
Own a piece of San Diego's storied past in the legendary El Cortez building—an iconic 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival masterpiece perched atop charming Cortez Hill. This seventh-floor pied-à-terre is bright, inviting, and filled with historic character, featuring one bedroom, one bath, soaring 9-foot windows, and stunning views of the Balboa Park Tower. The bedroom's elegant double-door entry leads to the bedroom and the unit enjoys a spacious custom walk-in closet, central heat and air, a Nest thermostat, easy elevator access, and one parking space. Beyond its architectural allure, El Cortez delivers resort-style living in a warm, pet-friendly community known for its neighborly camaraderie and friendly chats. Residents enjoy expansive terraces with a BBQ area on the 2nd floor terrace, a pool and spa, a fully equipped fitness center, secured bike storage, underground parking with EV charging, and attentive on-site management. Each floor includes community laundry, and with only five homes on the seventh level, only 3 homes share the community laundry on this level. Located just minutes from Balboa Park, Petco Park, Little Italy, the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, San Diego Harbor, and the airport, this residence pairs timeless elegance with unbeatable urban access. Mills Act approval means substantial property tax savings, adding even more value to your investment. At El Cortez, you don't just own a home—you become part of a living legacy, embraced by a connected and spirited community. It's elevated downtown living, redefined. Building is Mills Act Approved and new owner can apply to have Mills Act on this unit. Unit comes with 1 unassigned garage parking space. Photos prior to tenant move in. New Stove recently installed. Private laundry can be installed with architectural approval and this is an item that is approvable. Buyer to verify all prior to close of escrow.
