About This Property

Within one of San Diego's most celebrated mid-century landmarks, a singular opportunity quietly awaits. Set within the historic Salomon Building overlooking Balboa Park, timeless architecture is paired with a thoughtful refresh that feels perfectly at home today. Among the building's third floor park-facing residences, only this home enjoys the privilege of a private terrace, an outdoor room opening toward the park's magnificent canopy. Inside, walls of glass borrow the beauty of Balboa Park as a living backdrop, while a desirable split-bedroom design offers two en-suite bedroom retreats, each with park views. Enhanced with refined updates, secured parking, private storage, community pool, fitness room and valuable Mills Act tax advantages, this is a rare offering where history, architecture, and everyday living exist in remarkable harmony. *See Supplement For Details* Some homes offer a view of Balboa Park. Very few become part of its landscape. Residence 307 (3G) occupies a special place within this iconic mid-century masterpiece commissioned by Colonel Irving Salomon and designed by renowned architect Henry Hester. More than six decades later, the building remains one of San Diego's architectural treasures, celebrated for its clean lines, generous glass and enduring connection to its surroundings. What distinguishes this home is not simply its location, but its perspective. An ever-changing composition of light, texture and color that feels as though it was intentionally framed by Henry Hester himself. A massive added benefit is the resurrection of Bankers Hill into a gastronomic destination. Residents enjoy the rare luxury of a neighborhood where culture, cuisine and daily conveniences are all within an easy stroll. Recent improvements were undertaken with a clear respect for the home's character. Fresh interior paint, luxurious wool carpeting, new custom-made draperies and carefully selected kitchen enhancements - including new flooring, built-in oven, and microwave - elevate the home without compromising its authenticity. The Salomon Building's historic designation also offers the benefit of Mills Act participation, providing substantial property tax savings while preserving one of San Diego's most important residential landmarks.
