About This Property
Move-in ready, beautifully upgraded, and ideally positioned in the desirable northwest corner of Aria, this stylish Cortez Hill residence offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy downtown San Diego living without sacrificing space, privacy, or comfort. Natural light fills the open-concept interior, where an updated kitchen takes center stage with waterfall-edge quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and an oversized breakfast bar perfect for casual dining and entertaining. Expansive windows brighten the living areas and open to a spacious private balcony—an inviting extension of the home for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the San Diego lifestyle. The highly desirable split-suite floor plan places two spacious bedroom suites on opposite sides of the residence for added privacy. The primary suite features dramatic corner windows, a walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower, while the second suite with its own private bath is ideal for guests, a roommate, or home office flexibility. Additional highlights include motorized living room shades, full-size in-unit laundry, and the convenience of two assigned garage parking spaces. Aria offers an impressive collection of resort-style amenities, including a 70-foot lap pool, spa, fitness center, resident lounge, on-site management, and secured FOB entry. Tucked into the quieter residential setting of Cortez Hill yet just minutes from Balboa Park, Little Italy, Petco Park, the Embarcadero, Gaslamp Quarter, dining, entertainment, and San Diego International Airport, this home delivers the best of both worlds. With its move-in-ready condition, desirable floor plan, two parking spaces, private outdoor space, and central location, this is a standout opportunity for buyers looking for exceptional value in the heart of San Diego.
