Charming Mid-Century Craftsman ~ Hot Tub/Serene Yd

Fire up the grill and relax in the cozy outdoor lounge of this 1930s Craftsman cottage before settling in to the hot tub. This home features both modern and vintage charm, boasting sleek wooden flooring, open-plan living, and a full chef's kitchen. A 6 ft privacy fence allows for the perfect oasis and is perfect for kids and dogs running amok.



My home is located in the heart of San Diego, just North of Balboa Park in an area called North Park. I am within walking distance to bars, craft breweries, restaurants, and shopping. The beach and downtown are just a short 10-minute drive away.



The house itself was fully remodeled in 2012, yet kept some of the characteristics of the period when it was built. The walls are rounded in the living room of this 1935 Craftsman home.



Outside the home



There is a large private yard, Caldera Hot Tub, and great outdoor space, complete with a BBQ grill and patio table that seats 6 for dining outdoors or a comfortable outdoor sofa bed perfect for lounging around in the afternoon after a full day of exploring.



Inside the home



The kitchen is full of light, central to all activity throughout the house, offering an enjoyable cooking experience. The kitchen is well-equipped with all of the tools you'll need to create a delicious meal and there are even four comfortable counter stools at the breakfast bar where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee.



The kitchen opens up to the living room, where you will see a dining set, adjustable to either table or counter height, that seats four. Pull over a couple of counter stools for a rousing card game or plop down on the newly added sofa (sleeper) and set-up a movie night with the 42" mounted Roku TV with DVD player and surround sound system! Choose a great flick from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, or the selection of DVD's, and whatever you do, don't forget the popcorn!



Bedroom 1 is located just around the corner from the living room. It features a queen-size bed, a ceiling fan, a spacious walk-in closet, dresser, night-stand, and a door leading out to the backyard.



Bedroom 2 also has a queen-size bed, a closet for you to store your belongings, and a bookshelf with some classics for you to enjoy during your stay. Both bedrooms have plenty of natural light streaming in so you won't miss out on a second of that San Diego sunshine!



The bathroom is next to bedroom 1 and features luxurious stone flooring, granite counter tops, dual sinks, and a large walk-in shower.



To get to the spacious backyard, go through the door in bedroom 1 and you'll find the perfect place to hang out on a sunny day! You can cook up some juicy burgers on the gas grill and enjoy them at a glass-top table for 6. When you're ready for a bit of R&R, climb into the hot tub just around the corner.



Location



The house is located in a quiet neighborhood in trendy North Park with a park and playground just a few blocks away. Head in the other direction, and you will find bustling streets filled with bars, craft breweries, esteemed restaurants, and eclectic shops.



A few places worth checking out nearby include Belching Beaver Brewing, Jayne's Gastropub, Nomad Donuts, Tiger! Tiger!, and Soda & Swine.



Jump on the I-8 and you are a short drive to gorgeous beaches, a vibrant downtown, and the city's best attractions!



"The yard wrapped around the house and was perfect for the kids to run around and us adults to lounge on the wonderful huge deck with a big comfortable outside couch and relax time in the hot tub. Private driveway with gate was nice for parking and to close off the yard for kids to play safely."



“One of the easiest reviews to write. Beds might have been the most comfortable I’ve slept in. 5 stars across the board for comfort, quaintness, location, neighborhood, cafe/food accessible, privacy, amenities, cleanliness, and a great sound system for the TV."



“Conveniently located, no matter where we wanted to go, it took just minutes. It is surrounded by hip and trendy shops and restaurants that we enjoyed daily. But once you are behind the gate, you have your own little oasis. We immediately fell in love with the home and outdoor area."
