Hosted by Kent
This pride-of-ownership single family home in centrally located upscale Mission Hills still has some available dates between Aug 31 - Sept 23, 2024. Guests love its Uptown central location, the high beamed ceilings, open floor plan, and its very private dining terrace with views!

They are pleased to offer their special home on Eagle Street as a short term rental six months a year. Extensively remodeled, this custom home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each bedroom has a separate hallway, with comfortable King Bed, and an adjacent bathroom w/tiled shower. The spacious Great Room offers an L shaped Italian leather Sectional and Pottery Barn Recliner, Smart TV w/full cable & streaming options, dining table with seating for 6, and open Kitchen with high-end appliances. On a cool night -- enjoy the switch-activated gas fireplace near dining area.

Why they chose this property
This is a custom built pride-of-ownership home. The owners have upgraded it extensively since purchasing it 10+ years ago. They divide their time between Germany and San Diego, but are always delighted to return to their San Diego "home" on Eagle Street. They love walking to nearby food markets and restaurants like the Red Door, the local ice cream shop on Goldfinch St, or the gourmet cheese shop on Washington Avenue. There are outstanding food markets 2 blocks away, and on Sunday one can visit the huge Farmer's Produce Market in nearby Hillcrest. This prized Uptown location can't be beat! Balboa Park, the Zoo, Downtown, Little Italy, and the Airport can be reached by Uber or a rental car in just minutes.
What makes this property unique
When a central location and a detached single family house are desired - this is the property to choose! Ideal for 2 couples or a family of 3 or 4 as there are two separate bedroom w/bath wings while the central Great room accommodates all comfortably -- someone cooking in the open kitchen, someone working at a desk, others relaxing on the sectional or lounging outside on the terrace.
