About 842 21st St

Our beautifully preserved, historic 2BR/1BA Craftsman flat is just 5-minutes' walk to downtown San Diego along Broadway, a few blocks from Balboa Park and close to coffee shops, cool eateries, markets and bakeries. Featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors and original Craftsman built-in dining cabinets, this unit is in a desirable, quiet neighborhood yet near city activities and fun. The building is an exceptionally maintained historic 4-plex built in 1906 that celebrates the quality of time-tested craft, design and charm. The built-in dining cabinets are mahogany and a requisite fireplace is conveniently upgraded to gas. In keeping with the allure, yet offering full functionality, the bathroom features a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. A fully functional, vintage stove creates the ideal kitchen setting. This is a large two-bedroom unit on the upper, right side of the building. At the top of the wide, wooden stairs, you will enter the unit through the dining room, which leads to a short hallway that separates the dining room, the bathroom, the two bedrooms and the kitchen. There is a back door off the kitchen with unstoppable city views that leads down an outside stairwell to the backyard area. Both bedrooms are private, yet they are adjoined by a door between the rooms. For added private access, you can enter the back bedroom exclusively from the porch through the back door just to the right of the back kitchen door....
