About this House

NOTE: Full disclosure, we have decided to move forward with converting the detached garage into a studio. We anticipate the construction to begin in 8-12 months.

This inviting residence is perfectly situated in the desirable Adams North neighborhood, nestled between Normal Heights and Kensington.

- Distinctive Spanish Craftsman details, including a barrel-ceiling living room
- Landscaper/gardener services included in rent

Parking:

    "I have lived her over 20 years and I love the neighborhood. We know and like our neighbors. There are huge music events on Adams Avenue at least twice a year that excellent if you like music. The are has many excellent restaurants, bars, and entertainment. We have an amazing home made ice cream parlor (Mariposa). A good grocery store is close by. Excellent public transportation. The best walking neighborhood I have ever seen. We are close to Balboa Park, downtown, airport, beach, hiking, etc. The local public schools are average but there are nearby private schools that are quite good. The kids around here seem happy. There is a good library nearby."
