About this property
Golden Hill Serenity House near Gas Lamp and convention Center
My home is located in the very nice walkable neighborhood of Golden Hill, in Sunny San Diego. Just walking to the starbucks two blocks away, your eyes will be busy with our many beautiful homes and sense of pride in our community. Or maybe a two minute walk to Luigi's Famous pizza for a slice of the Mona Lisa. The Turf Club for a Drink in the vintage throwback decor or maybe just down for some coffee at Dark Horse or Krakatowa. Just two minutes from Balboa park and our Famous Zoo.
The space
I built "The Barn" in 2010, I live on the second and third floors and the guest house is on the 1st floor, It has Granite Countertops, Two full baths, quick hot water and a breeze that shoots up from the ocean and right in the window. My yard is very tropical with a active Koi pond and pier. The temperature in my yard is usually about 5 degrees cooler than outside the gate. I have lived on the property for over twenty years and I cannot see myself anywhere else.
Guest access
You will have access to the patio, bbq and the first floor unit. There is a full gourmet Kitchen, two baths and a outdoor area for the pets to to there business.
Interaction with guests
I live right above and will be there for any of your questions. I tend to talk alot, so if you ask me a question, be prepared to take a seat.
Other things to note
As with much of San Diego located near Balboa Park we are under the flightpath the planes come and go but they usually stop by 1030. Next to Starbucks is Spevalada Meats, he's a second generation butcher and takes pride in his cuts. And for our Beer connoisseur, Krisps has a selection you will never be able to get through.
I walk everywhere, Goergiano's, Starbucks, Golden Hill Cafe, Over the freeway to Roberto's. The Bridge rail was designed by an artist and when you cross with a metal tool you can play a song that is the same in both directions. Some of San Diego's oldest mansions are just up the road and the neighborhood is safe to walk, Luigi's Pizza is my favorite, gotta try the "white girl". Or have dinner at the turf club and cook your own steak in the atmosphere of "the brat pack" with red leather throughout.
Getting around
If you have a thing for public transit, the bus is right on the corner, I would suggest Uber or Lift. Most locations are fairly close and the ride is quick and affordable. However, it is always a treat to take the trolley to Tijuana or Old town. If you rent a car, be aware we are in the city and parking can be challenging at times.
