Historic 1905 Charmer in the Heart of Hillcrest!

Located just two blocks south of University Avenue, Hillcrest's main drag, this home is within walking distance of restaurants and cafés, yet tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. Originally built in 1905, the property was converted into a medical office in 1979 by the owner’s father, a dermatologist. After his retirement, the family lovingly renovated the space to return it to its original use as a residence.

The entire second story of the home is reserved exclusively for our guests, offering a spacious and private retreat filled with character. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating the home’s many vintage details — from the original retro pink tile bathroom to the beautifully preserved wallpaper that adds a nostalgic touch of personality and charm.

This space is perfect for guests who appreciate a stay that feels unique and storied, rather than cookie-cutter. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with these original features, including quality furniture and furnishings chosen for both comfort and style. A private patio offers a quiet spot to sip coffee or unwind in the evenings, while a full kitchen provides everything needed for home-cooked meals.

You will also enjoy the convenience of on-site parking, a rare find in this vibrant neighborhood, making it easy to explore Hillcrest and beyond while having a comfortable, distinctive home to return to at the end of the day.

There is a well-lit private entrance and exit, a private staircase which leads up to the second floor guest suite. Guests will be able to access a parking space in the adjoining parking lot.

Hillcrest is amazing. I grew up in La Jolla, and it's very beautiful there, but Hillcrest has a special vibe and central location. Hillcrest is really a perfect place to position oneself to get the most out of seeing San Diego.

Walkable neighborhood. A bus stop is one block away. Lyfts/Ubers usually show up in a few minutes. Scooters generally available in the area.

The washer and dryer are shared with the downstairs unit
